You feed this child the same thing that is fed to any other normal 9 month old. Follow the guidelines of the proper diet for the child's age. Check with a Nutritionist or your physician for more information on this. Thalassemia minor cannot be cured, this child's blood cells are smaller than a normal persons. I have had thalassemia minor since birth.............I have lived my life as normal as anyone. I eat fruit and vegetables, meat and dairy products. Multi vitamin daily.
Don't worry about this, love your child as you would any other.
