But iron deficiency and anemia are not the same. Iron is required for brain development and iron in brain decreases by 4 to 6 months. So there is need to supplement iron at that time. Breast milk is deficient in iron. So all exclusively breast fed babies must be given iron from 4th month onwards and other babies from 6th month onwards.
