Iron

Low iron levels in pregnancy

A New Babies Club member recently asked our nutritionist the following question..."I am currently pregnant and my iron levels are very low. I also have three children aged 6 years, 2 years and 1 year. My 6 year old has very low iron levels and I think my 2 year old has as well. I have both on iron melt tablets to try and boost their iron levels.

Is my baby getting enough iron?

Our nutritionist was asked, "As baby's iron stores will be depleting now as he is 6 months, how do I make sure he's getting enough iron? We have so far just been feeding him the Wattie's fruit purees or home-made purees, but no meat, fish, eggs, dairy etc.."
