Go to Giant Eagle, Walgreens, Rite Aid, etc. and purchase the chewable "Flinstones with iron Children's Mulivitamin Supplement". Cut 1 vitamin in half, crush it up into a fine powder almost and just mix it in with your baby's milk or food. The iron levels should increase within a few days/weeks. Keep doing that process until the doctor says the iron levels are normal.
