Pediatrician recommended "Fer-In-Sol" for our 9 month old. Not enough Iron in diet. I tried a drop, and it tasted like pennies in my mouth for hours. I tried juice and other strong flavors to no avail. Could not get the taste of change out of my mouth. I give our baby a full dropper of the stuff every day, but I wait until he's mad. It's almost a punishment for a baby. By far, the worst part of my day. I follow my doctor's orders, but I wish this was better tasting. Read more

The cap was molded, but was not as serious as some pictures shared so I didn’t pay attention to it and gave it to my 5-month old son today. 1 hr later he vomited projectively for a few times until he was too tired and fell asleep, even after breastfeeding again. I’m absolutely not happy with this product, and concerned with its safety. It shall include appropriate warning info of potential adverse effect on the label, and improve its formulation to make it friendly to babies. Read more

Fer-In-Sol is a liquid iron supplement. If I have to make sense of the name then I would guess that Fer is from ferrum/ferrous for iron, and Sol in chemistry means a liquid solution which has fine particles of a solid mixed into it. So Fer-In-Sol seems to mean iron in liquid solution.The liquid form is iron supplement seems to be the easiest to absorb by the body, as compared to other forms of supplements e.g. tablets,syrup, or powder.Our doctor prescribed our son to take Fer-In-Sol after blood-test found him to be anemic. Drinking too much cow milk (more than 24 oz) in a day has been linked iron deficiency (cow's milk hampers iron absorption in body and cow's milk itself is low in iron so the more milk the child drinks the less room will be there for other food that are good sources of iron.)We had to ask our doctor specifically for iron test. Our neighbours had told us that they themselves had to ask explicitly for an iron test and found out that their son had anemia as well.Fer-In-Sol comes with a child-resistant safety cap (that needs to be pressed down in order to open) and a dropper that can also be screwed on top of the bottle. The dropper also has the safety mechanism as well.DOSAGE:Accidental overdose of iron containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Because of the risks and severe side-effects of iron overdose, it is highly recommend to refer the Doctors advise as to how much and if iron supplementation is needed. Our doctor asked us to use two droppers per day.Generally children require between 7-11 mg of iron daily, but because iron absorption is difficult the doctor may prescribe a higher dose than the recommended dietary allowance.DIRECTIONSEven thought Fer-In-Sol has natural flavours, it still doesn't taste good at all. Our doctor had advised us to mix it with juice. We mix the iron supplement with apple juice and use the syringe that comes with Tylenol to feed the supplement to out son.It is recommended to take this in early morning with empty stomach. Also, taking it with juices that conatin Vitamin C is also beneficial since Vitamin C aids in absorption of iron.SIDE EFFECTSTaking supplemental iron has some side-effects (even if taking in quantity prescribed by doctor.) Iron supplement usually causes constipation and bowel movement to be of darker color (almost black.) It can also result in abdominal pain. Therefore it is recommended to drink lots of fluids while on iron supplements.If the child is suffering from iron overdose, he may experience severe vomiting, diarrhea, bluish skin, or general weakness. Therefore it is quite necessary to not overdo it and follow the advise of doctor. Read more

I ordered it because our pediatrician recommend for my baby and she said this is only brand that produce iron for infants. She showed me the picture of the box but didn't said me what is inside of it. I did order this iron supplement without reading the ingredients and ever never imagined that it can contain alcohol. Once I get my order, I wanted to give it my baby, but before opening the box I just read the ingredients and saw that there is alcohol on it. I wanted to return it but system shows that this is non refundable item! My money went to garbage! I would never give my baby even supplement if it contains Alcohol! Read more

Our pediatrician wanted us to start giving iron supplements to our 1-year-old because of her low iron levels. The doctor recommended this specific brand so we ordered it here. After 4 weeks of giving it to our daughter everyday (we were prescribed 1.5mL daily), her follow up blood draw revealed that her iron level is now normal, so it has been effective. I didn't notice any mold growth under the cap, as some reviewers mentioned, so overall I've been happy with this product. Our pediatrician recommended us to give it to her for 2 more months, so I ordered it again from the same seller and we were happy with what we received. It comes with a 1mL dropper that screws on to the bottle.The smell is pretty strong (I can't even imagine what it tastes like), so we mix it with a little bit of orange juice to mask the taste and administer it to our daughter via syringe. We do 0.75mL twice a day so as not to cause her to be constipated. So far, orange juice has been the most effective vehicle. We tried apple sauce but it doesn't mask the smell as well.Also- don't forget to brush baby's teeth right after. We have forgotten a few times and some of her teeth have black stains from the iron. Luckily, it's just her baby teeth and they'll eventually fall off, but it's still kind of bothersome. Anyway, I recommend this product for baby's iron supplement needs. Read more
