Q

what do you give to a premature baby that is exclusively breast fed

A

IRON AND VITAMIN D

  • preterm infants are at higher risk of iron deficiency so they should be on iron up till age 1
  • all exclusively breast fed babies get vitamin D supplementation

*full term babies have enough iron for the first 4-6 months of life
