*We have not tested use of the Lucky Iron Fish/Leaf on infants under 12 months of age. According to Canadian Paediatric Society guidelines, most infants do not require additional iron in the first year of their life. However, if your baby’s physician decides that the baby needs more iron then we suggest that you follow their advice about the best way to treat your infant.
*We do not recommend using it if you have a hemoglobin variant such as Hemochromatosis, which is a genetic disorder that makes it difficult for the body to deal with iron.
If you are not certain or have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider.
