Infant iron stores are exhausted by 4 to 6 months of age and need to be replaced in their diet.
<h3>At what age are infant iron stores exhausted?</h3>
- Iron reserves in healthy, full-term newborns are sufficient to last for at least the first six months.
- Depending on the baby, the most recent research suggests that iron stores should last at least six months.
- Breastmilk iron absorbs better than iron from other sources.
- As a result, until the age of four months, full-term babies do not require iron supplements.
- The AAP now advises a 1-mg/kg daily dose of oral iron starting at four months and continuing until a newborn begins eating solid iron-rich meals, usually around six months of age, provided the baby is breastfed.
- 6- to 12-month-old baby needs to be ingesting approximately 11 mg of iron because the iron stores are depleted around the age of 6 months per day.
