7 month old is taking iron supplements but still very sleepy?

Question

my 7 month old is slightly anemic according to the doc (hemoglobin 10.6) and she is taking iron supplements every day now for the last month. How long till we should see some results as far as not so fatigued? She takes naps but is usually tired withing an hour or 2 of each one and is always rubbing her eyes and yawning......

Answer 1

I think that is fairly normal.  How much is she sleeping in a 24 hour period?  Check out this website:

They have info for how much a baby should be sleeping in a 24 hour period.  When in doubt though, it's always best to check with her pediatrician if you're still feeling uneasy!
