Can anyone please help with this problem or have any other solutions to offer?


 I have another
daughter now, Frances, who is almost 14 months, and we just had some
bloodwork done on her because she had a mystery illness, and the unexpected
tidbit of info that came back was that her hemoglobin was at 10.2.  She's
primarily breastfed still--I'd say she's getting about 90% of her nutrition
from breastmilk still, not terribly interested in solid food, and what she
eats--and she's relatively picky--is not extremely iron-rich.

The issue for us is also that we have a lot of lead based paint in our
house.  We're getting ready to do some abatement, starting in about 2
weeks, but Frances also has slightly elevated blood lead levels, and I know
that iron deficiency anemia and lead poisoning can go hand in hand, and low
iron can increase the risks of lead poisoning.  Anyway, my question is,
what do you think about giving Floradix to a 17 pound baby?  And how much
would I give each day?


Thank you very much.

Gitte.
