Pls is de deon's blood tonic safe to be given to a child of 2weeks?
The only thing a 2 weeks old baby needs is breast milk, and or formula if the the baby is formula fed. Breast milk contains the right amount of iron for babies that age. Unless you are told to do otherwise by a specialist after a proper diagnosis has been done, please do not give anything else to the baby.
You are not to use blood tonic
routinely. Ensure the baby takes food rich
in iron. If you feel your baby's blood is low,
Kindly check the PCV first at the hospital
and let the doctor work out the appropriate
dose for your baby. Iron can be too much in
the blood causing symptoms of iron
overload.
