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.

Most iron supplements found in the drugstore or prescribed by physicians are not very well absorbed, and can cause constipation. But the important thing is to know why -- are you seeing a physician and has he or she told you why your child is low on iron? What do you feed your baby?
