Iron drops every day (4–18 months)
What it is
MoH: 7.5 mg/day at 4–6 months, then 15 mg/day to 18 months, as a registered medication; a blood count around 9–12 months.
Always on
- Give at a fixed moment (a morning feed works) so it isn't forgotten.
- Preterm babies start earlier at 2 mg/kg — Tipat Halav sets the dose.
- The one-time blood count is at 9–12 months — book it with a routine visit.
