Ababies iron stores are depleted by approximately how many months after birth?

Iron in babies that are stored are being depleted by approximately six months after birth. This is true for both formula fed and  breastfed babies. The body needs iron in order to produce hemoglobin which carries oxygen in the blood. Most of the babies that are being breast fed do not need any iron, vitamins, mineral supplements and water in addition to the milk they intake for about six months. The human milk would provide all the necessary nutrients and fluids needed by the baby in order to be healthy. After six months, the amount provided by the breast milk would not be enough so introducing foods with the needed nutrients would be recommended.
