I'm concerned about my DD's iron intake. She is 7months and still on aptamil first milk. I did the maths with the iron content in her formula and its giving her around 3-4mg per day. The recommended daily intake is 11mg. I asked advice from my HV and she said as long as she's eating a varied diet of solids it should be fine. She is however not great at eating savoury stuff, but will eat fruit til it's coming out her ears! So I'm not convinced her solid diet is making up the extra 7mg she needs. Wondering am I the only one with this concern, or am I just a big sucker of the advertising campaigns from follow on milks 'give your baby the extra iron they need'? Any thoughts advice would be appreciated
