Hi
My DS is 9 months and I've noticed that he's losing his hair - which is weird as he's already had the falling out/growing back thing.
I think it might be a deficiency in something and worried it could be iron.
He's on solids - has three meals a day. Every day he either has egg, meat or lentils to make sure he gets iron.
However he also has reflux and is still on ranitidine. I've done a bit of googling and have found out that ranitidine actually inhibits absorption of iron. Which is worrying as I know the iron stores deplete from 6-9 months.
DS has generally been fine - crawling around etc but he has "dips" in the day where he seems a bit sluggish. I thought it was the heat. Maybe I'm reading too much into it!
Has anyone heard of this or experienced it? Obviously I'm going to book a doc appointment tomorrow morning but thought I'd MN in the meantime.
