Our pediatrician is concerned about low iron levels since my son is still not eating very much besides breast milk. We are taking him to get his levels checked this week. I have heard that supplemental iron can be very upsetting to the digestive system so I am weary of it. Has anyone here given their babies iron supplements? Was it beneficial? Were there side effects?

Gideon takes iron supplements and I can't tell a difference other than his poop being darker...

Good luck!
