f/u:anemia


Lee's eating=I'm happy. 
So, just thought I'd share my findings so far with you.  I have been able to feed Lee his full portion of iron supplement IF I mix it with fruit baby food. I don't know if the fruit flavors are just stronger or what but I'm happy that it's working. 
The one negative side effect that hasn't gone away is a return of spitting up.  Lee was a "spitter" when he was new but several months ago he outgrew it. (wahoo.) But ever since I started feeding him extra iron he'll spit up about 1-3 times a day, any time during the day even though he always has his iron mid-morning.  I know that iron has a tendency to be hard on the stomach so it seems that's what it is. It's nothing compared to him throwing up like before though.
