Any suggestions to increase hemoglobin (now at 7.4) of 20 lb. 9 month old
twin.  He was born at 34 weeks and at 5 lbs. was a pound smaller than his
twin sister.  Both babies nursed well from the beginning and were
exclusively breastfed until 6 mos.

Baby boy has little appetite for solids.  Mom reports that once a day she
maybe can get him to eat 3 -4 tablespoons of pasta with tomato/ground
meat sauce.  This baby is otherwise healthy and active although mother
says he is paler than his sister who weighs a little more and whose
hemaglobin is 10.5.

Mom started him on liquid multivitamin drops with iron when she found out
about his low hemaglobin.  I just read recent post about low iron and low
zinc causing food to taste bad and will pass information along to her.

TIA for any other suggestions,
