Iron supplements?

emandjp

My DD is 6 months old and EBF. I just started making her some food sweet potatoes, carrots etc. Our pediatrician suggested oatmeal and rice cereal which I told her we will not be giving DD and she then suggested putting iron drops in her food. First off, she's not really consuming much of the food and I thought that she gets enough iron from my BM? Also, doesn't extra iron in the babies system cause problems with their ability to absorb the iron from my BM? Just curious? Thanks ladies.
