Tell me about food habit

<< < (2/2)

Andy Battaglia:
The only restrictions should be foods that are not appropriate for a 6 month old child and foods containing added iron, like fortified cereals.

Bostonian_04:
My daughter's hemo in Children's hospital Boston says no food restriction needed as the iron from the food is much much lower than that from transfusion. But moderation is key for all and every thing we eat. it applies not only to thals for non-thals as well. so, do not worry. Let  your child eat all fruits and veggies. some non-veg too if you guys eat non-veg. Just make sure you child develops healthy eating habits and when it is time to start chelation, do chelate regularly. :smiley
