one of the easiest ways to add iron to the diet of a picky child is to use Ferrochel (iron bisglycinate) by Albion Labs. it's a nearly tasteless powder and the absorption rate is about 49%. it also doesn't have the same toxicity issues associated with it as can other forms of iron. kirkman labs (www.kirkmanlabs.com) makes a 5 mg capsule that is teeny and can easily be opened into food or drink.....or mixed with 1/4 tsp liquid and given in dropper or syringe. t katherine in atl *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
