[quote=Anonymous]My son had his 9 month appt last week and had the finger prick for iron/lead. His pediatrician called to tell me that his level came back at 6.0 and they like it to be 10+. We do BLW and he eats pretty much everything we eat including meats (he loves chicken, red meat, etc.) and also eats beans (black beans, chick peas), broccoli, eggs, spinach, etc. so we were surprised his iron is low. He’s also on breastmilk. His ped is starting him on an iron supplement but is having us do a redraw in a month or so. Has anyone else had their 9 month old come back with low iron? [/quote]
