cinnamon supplement to boost infant iron level

[Guest guest]

Thanks to all of you who responded with suggestions for the vegan multivitamin

drops. It was extremely helpful.

 

Our daughter's pediatrician, who tends toward natual remedies, has also

suggested giving our daughter a cinnamon supplement to help get her iron up a

bit instead of using a regular iron supplement. His reasons were that it would

likely be more gentle on her system and there would not be as much danger of

going the other way and getting too much iron.

 

Does anyone here have any experience with using cinnamon to boost iron levels?

I have been looking into what I can get that is vegan and in liquid form. From

what I have read, it seems that I would not want to get her the cassia cinnamon

because of toxicity issues. Does anyone here know what kind of cinnamon

supplement would be safest for a 21 pound 13 month old and what the dosage would

be?

 

Thanks again for all your help.

P.S. I could swear this was the list where I recently saw a posting from

someone who was a naturopathic midwife or doctor, but of course now that I am

looking for that message I can't find it...if that person is on here and would

not mind a couple of questions, please message me and let me know who you are.

Thanks.
