Most of the mothers believe that iron may lead to constipation, colic, diarrhea, flatulence or reflux in babies.

However, this is not the case, in fact, if the tot will not receive the required amount of iron in the developing stages of life, it would lead to problems in overall development and especially with lower intelligence later in school life.
Thus, it has been recommended that mothers should keep aside the misconception and fed their babies with iron- fortified formulas from day one.
