I have an almost 6 month old who was recently diagnosed with HbE beta Thalessemia. We are going to start her on solid foods soon and I was hoping to get some advice in regards to her diet and nutrition.
Are there any foods that are high in iron that I should avoid?
Are there any foods that I should give more of than others?
What vitamin supplements are appropriate for her at this age?
I have her on a multivitamin without iron now, and am looking for folic acid for an infant but am having trouble finding it.
Are there other vitamins that would benefit her right now?
Thanks for your advice!!
