I know this is the subject of some debate, but I am quite convinced
that if mom's iron stores aren't optimal, her milk may not contain as
much as it might, so she ought to either check hemoglobin or serum
ferritin and take appropriate action.
Also, there are lots of iron options besides those horrible drops.
Ferrochel or some other form of iron that isn't constipating would keep
both doc and mom happy.
