Hello everyone,
I've been lurking here for a bit so just wanted to say

Without knowing her iron stores I would say avoid the iron infusion. A Hb of
9 should correct well with a good diet with adequate red meat and regular
exercise. It will be much slower if she does not eat red meat. If she feels
well & milk supply is adequate I believe the risks of an iron infusio

Hi Sue:
It seems to me that iron infusions are often "advised" for anyone who has a
Hb less than 100, antenatally/postnatally asymptomatic/symptomatic and blood
transfusions for postnates with Hb's less than 80 or 90 depending on the
doctor because again the woman maybe asymptomatic. Also regardle
