Any advice to a mom whose 15 month old twice a day breastfed baby has been
diagnosed with severe anemia (level 10.9) and prescribed Fer-in-sol for baby 1
ml three times per day?  0.6ml=15 mg.  Pharmacist called mom and said dose was
too much.  Baby weighs 20 lbs. 10 ounces.  Was 7-2 at birth.  Mom is very
petite, less than 100 pounds herself.  Mom afraid to give baby too much
medication.  Is this too much?  Baby eats well at lunch at daycare, picks at
breakfast and dinner.  TIA.  Mom is my niece.  Loni Denman, RN, IBCLC
