Hi Best, unfortunately, drugs can't be prescribed on this platform. Show the test to your doctor. He/she will direct you on what you do. In the mean time, foods like red meat, such as beef, organ meat, such as kidney and liver, Green vegetables, beans, legumes ,egg yolks can help boost blood supply naturally
Please which baby formula has much iron , my baby blood is low
U have to eat food rich in iron e.g snail, meat, fish, liver, vegetables, egg etc which will help improve d quality of ur breast milk, then u breastfeed him exclusively. Ask ur doc to prescribed an appropriate multivitamin for him so he can feed well. No formula will help u boost his PCV like ur breast milk. Also make sure ur baby sleeps under long lasting insecticide net to prevent malaria, cos malaria causes anaemia. All d best.
