I've been feeding cereal, so will now go to 3 times a day instead of 2. I have just introduced meat that has more iron. Peas, green beans and prunes have iron too.

I think it will take longer to increase her iron through diet (Since she was already getting it in cereal) instead of supplements, but I will definitely let you know. I hope it works myself.

Yes, I am still breat feeding and I take prenatal vitamens still that have 150% the req'd iron.

I may also try to make my own babyfood with liver to get more iron. I have no idea if she will tolerate it or not....
