Thanks for the query.
Your child's Hb is not too low to worry.
Still if you think he is pale you can continue the iron syrup.
Beet, jaggery, fruits, vegetables should be encouraged.
Milk and bakery products should be limited as they are poor source of iron.
Try to give home made food like upma, khichdi, poha etc.
If the problem persists see your doctor he may advise you some more test if Hb is too low.
Hope i helped you.
