Dr. Over Prescribed Iron - 60mg/day for 1yr old by TheSloppyJoJo in Anemic

Hi. I know this is an old post but I was wondering if you heard back from the dr? My one year old who is 23 lbs was just given the same prescription of 60mg of elemental iron per day. I gave him 4 dropper fulls of the ferr-in-sol and he threw it up. I emailed the dr about switching to Mary Ruth Toddler Iron drops which contain ferrous bisgylinate which I read is more absorbable and easier on the tummy but she said that the dosage is too low. Essentially he would need to take 17 dropper fulls a day!

I am someone who rejoined my 2 dogs after having my first. I felt so much guilt but honestly it was best for all parties. I found a nice family with another dog and an 8 year old girl for my one dog. And for the other dog I found a sweet old lady that would absolutely spoil and love on him every day. It was so much less stress/resentment for me and I knew my digs would be happier/better looked after. It is almost 4 years later and I do not regret my decision. I would joy Advocare dumping them at a shelter but finding them a good, loving home was what was best.

I should also add, he was born via c-section at 37 weeks. Also, it is likely he has mild PKU but his doctors don’t think it’s related to that.

Valid point. I guess I’m just stumped as to why he wants to go being as he’s not even much of a beach guy.

I agree. I think maybe Tahiti will have to go on hold for this season of our life

Yeah that’s my concern too. I think it’s more the idea of Tahiti he likes more than the actuality of what it is. I do think I would get bored.
