Ann,
We just had a similar situation admitted to our PICU. the baby was severely deficient in B 12.
Holly McSpadden, IBCLC
-------------- Original message from Ann Marie Neeley Burkhart <[log in to unmask]>: --------------
> I received a call from a mother of a 9-month-old with a hemoglobin value of
> 9.9. Her pediatrician prescribed iron drops but the baby can't keep them
> down. We talked about iron-rich foods, but baby refuses to eat anything.
> Not only does she refuse, she throws it up. Mom puts food on her high chair
> tray and baby likes to play with it but if she accidentally swallows any of
> it, she instantly throws up. Babe's father is highly allergic to
> "everything" - wheat, dairy, etc. so they delayed intro. of food until
> recently. Pediatrician has referred them to a speech therapist for "eating
> issues". Is this referral common? Should mom be concerned about baby's
> iron levels? And, finally, am I correct that mom cannot increase iron
> levels in her milk by adding more iron to her diet? Other details that may
> be helpful: baby was under 6lbs. at birth, family is vegetarian and mom is
> very anxious.
