An 8-month-old baby is on supplemental iron. the nurse learns that the baby is fed with broiled chicken liver, mashed hard boiled egg yolk and iron-fortified cereal. what advice should be given to the parents of the baby?

The should be informed that certain foods  affect iron absorption. Therefore proper diet plan should be given to the parents. Foods rich in calcium  should be avoided, they delay iron absorption.

Hard boiled eggs should be avoided because eggs when boiled hard produce compound  phosphoproteins which impedes iron absorption,

Likewise broiled chicken liver, broiling the liver reduces the  iron content, The liver should only be parboiled to obtain maximum iron supply.

Iron fortified cereal is a good source of iron, But these foods should be combined with Vit C , A  rich fruits. Vitamin C foods increases iron absorption in the intestine,

The diet lacks green leafy vegetables, therefore these should be mashed with the food  for maximum iron up take.

Tea, tannins, chocolates  and excess milk should be avoided in the food of the baby and by the mother as they delay iron absorption.

The mother should also avoid foods that impedes iron absorption. because breastfeeding will pass these to the baby
