...and he's still not eating much!

I wasn't too worried, having read the book by the Spanish paediatrician (can't remember his name), but we recently found out that he's quite anaemic and may need to have iron prescribed by the GP :(

We did BLW then he got gastroenteritis at 9 months and it's taken 4 months to get him eating again, but he's very fussy and won't eat meat or a lot of vegetables (unless they're in Ella's Pouches which he loves but I'm sure don't have much nutritional value!). He will eat yogurt, cheese and bread in most forms.

If it wasn't for the anaemia I would hold tight but I feel like I have to do something about it now.

I give my BF baby, now 14 months, Vitabiotics Feraglobin syrup. It's suitable for 1 yr + and they only have to take 1/2 tsp, it's sweet and gentle on the stomach. Available off amazon. It gives me peace of mind for the days he doesn't eat much. It contains B vitamins and vit C + some other minerals too.

You can buy the Ferroglobin in supermarkets too.
