9. Iron absorption:
Turmeric could inhibit the body’s iron absorption by 20-90%, thus increasing the risk of iron deficiency anemia. Turmeric consumption should be carefully regulated in babies with anemia or chronic low iron reserves in the body.
10. Possible drug interaction:
If your baby is on any medication, then consult a pediatrician before introducing turmeric in your infant’s diet. This is crucial as turmeric is known to have drug interactions, such as with diabetes medicines, blood thinners, and medicines used for regulating stomach acid production.
