Im weaning my 1 yr old from formula to homo milk. She also doesnt eat her baby cereal that is iron fortified. How can I make sure she is getting enough iron? Should I give an iron supplement?Thanks!
What food is she eating? If she's not really eating any food I'd keep her on the formula until she starts getting alternate nutrition.
I would check with the doctor. I have heard too much iron can cause constipation.

Iron supplements can be dangerous to anyone, babies especially. Most foods these days, as well as homo milk are iron fortified. Are you giving her solid foods? Most baby formulas are iron fortified as well. If you're giving her real food, try to make sure she eats a lot of green foods and meat.
