Does No cereal = Iron supplementation?

[Barcino]

As per my previous post my baby seems to be reacting to Rice Cereal. Perhaps FPIES. So the pediatrician said that we would be having NO rice cereal and very cautious with any other cereals. Since this is the case and we might not even try any other cereals she wanted us to use iron supplements.
Is this necessary? I just don't have a good feeling about this.

Good question - Popping in to find out too! (there are some very knowledgeable ladies on here)

I was thinking of looking at more iron rich foods since that type if iron is processed by the body better (help - did I say that right?)

I hope you don't mind if I add a question....

What if you child is reacting to the iron rich foods your trialing?
