Good morning, I have a recommendation to give the child Innofer baby, but so far as I gave it was not sufficiently shaken to obtain a dark suspension, or therefore I did not give the child iron and the oil itself in the preparation?

To @Madzix:
No, nothing will happen to the child in this situation. You simply gave the oil itself, not the iron. Be sure to shake the suspension thoroughly before administration to evenly distribute the iron particles it contains.
Hello, I did not notice that it is necessary to shake, I gave 0.5 ml of this oil for a 3.5 month old baby, will something happen ??

If you did not shake the preparation before administration and did not notice a dark suspension, there is a chance that the child was only receiving oil and not the correct dose of iron. Therefore, it is important to shake the suspension thoroughly before administration in order to evenly distribute the iron particles contained in it. You have not written how many doses you have already given, so it is difficult for me to relate to the situation, but there is a risk that if you now start preparing the suspension correctly, you may administer a higher dose than recommended. I suggest you buy a new package and prepare it according to the manufacturer's instructions before serving: *Before consumption, shake the bottle vigorously for no less than 30 seconds. After proper mixing, the suspension acquires a dark color. *If no appropriate dose is taken within 3 minutes of compounding, the product should be thoroughly mixed again. *It is recommended that the bottle be shaken vigorously before each dose, even if administration takes place within 3 minutes of obtaining a homogeneous suspension. *The metered dose should be administered immediately after preparation directly into the mouth. *For infants fed only milk, it is recommended to administer the product approximately 15 minutes before or 2 hours after. *After a metered dose, the syringe should be washed hygienically with lukewarm running water without detergent.
