A must have for babies!

Thank you @thisisbutterly @chickadvisor and @exzellpharma for selecting me to test and review PediaFer™ Iron Supplement for babies. I have received this product for free in exchange of my honest opinion.

I have been giving PediaFer™ to my toddler for one week now. It has lemon flavour which my daughter totally loves. It comes with easy to dispense dropper. It contains iron salt to help in the proper formation and function of red blood cells in the body. I love the fact that the daily dose of PediaFer™ can be added to her beverage, food or directly into her mouth. It is suitable for newborns as well as children up to 3 years old. I would highly recommend this product and will definitely be buying it again.

PediaFer Iron Supplement for babies

I have just started using it, not sure yet what difference it has made. But I’m sure it will make a difference. Very grateful to be able to try out this product!

Iron supplement

I give this iron supplement to my baby. she was low on iron …great ingredients that helps to maintain good health and iron deficiency prevention… I got lemon flavor..

Decent

Easy to use with the dropper. My daughter is 2.5 years old. She didn’t particularly like the taste of it though. Still so early to know if it makes an impact on her iron.

Easy supplement to give

I received this product for free in exchange for a honest review. Iron deficiency is the most common mineral deficiency for toddlers. My 3 year old enjoyed this supplement even asking for more. The applicator was easy to use and I applied it directly in her mouth. However, I believe the best way to provide this is in juice due to its strong taste. Additionally, the Vitamin C in the juice will increase its absorption. The hardest issue was to remember to provide it during a meal, especially a low calcium meal to decrease any negative interactions.

Réellement utile?#

Je me questionne s'il est pertinent et nécessaire de supplémenter des enfants de cet âge en fer. Je parle ici, sans avis médical... De plus, les suppléments de fer sont efficaces si pris aux deux jours avant le coucher. Ceci m'a été dit par mon pharmacien. Cette information n'est pas donnée dans l'emballage. Un bébé de moins de 6 mois, qui ne consomme que du lait, n'est-il pas supposé avoir tout les nutriments dans son lait? De plus, j'ai pris la peine de goûter et c'est infect. Je comprends que si je donne ce produit à mon enfant il n'aimera probablement le goût.

Good iron drop

Have been using products from this brand and it's pretty good. We add this iron drop to her milk. I guess she is ok with it since she didn't say anything or don't like it. It smells more like lime than lemon to me. The dropper is easy to measure the right amount that's needed.

Taste is terrible :(

We are using PediaVit vitamin D supplement for a while and it's a brand that I trust. Unfortunately, this iron supplement tastes terrible. The lemon flavor couldn't hide the aftertaste typical in iron supplements. My child tasted it once and I haven't been able to give him more since then. He refuses to take it. Because he's only taken it once, I can't say anything about the effectiveness.

Add water and its iron-juice!

My daughter (2) is low in iron, so we are supplementing her diet to increase iron. I initially tried to give this to her as a "straight shot" but being the lemon flavour, it is quite tarte and she was not a fan. However, when I mixed in some water, it suddenly became juice and absolutely delicious! Currently a higher amount of iron per dose than the chewable iron supplement I was using, and allows for some bonus hydration! Once the chewables are done, I will be switching over to this liquid version for "iron juice". A apple flavour would probably be incredible for the tots!

Easy to use dropper

There are volume markers labeled on the dropper so you know how much you're dosing. The dropper makes it very easy for dispensing directly into the mouth or into another method. The liquid is a cloudy, pale yellow and it unfortunately has a slightly metallic/bitter taste. I would've enjoyed if it was a tart and sweet lemon dessert flavour as it would be a more pleasant experience. I don't know if the iron supplement made a difference in health but I don't think it was detrimental.
