Answer:

Feeding iron fortified cereals and foods to children over 6 months of age is recommended.

Explanation:

The iron in the human milk is easily absorbed. Iron is a mineral that baby needs for the growth and development of a body. RBCs contain haemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen to all cells in the body.Our body need iron to make hemoglobin. iron give red blood cells their colour. When there is not enough iron RBCs will become small and pale. They can't carry enough oxygen to our body organs and muscles. This leads to anemia. Symptoms include slow weight gain, irritability,pale skin and no appetite.Low levels of iron can lead to difficulty in the concentration fatigue &weakness.If mother can't able to breastfeed the baby at the 6 months age then iron fortified formula is recommended.Start feeding the baby with iron fortified cereals at 6 months age because at this age iron stored in baby's body during the pregnancy is about used up.
