Two Unrelated Questions

Hi everyone! I've been enjoying following all the journeys but this is my first post. I have two completely unrelated questions:

1- Did anyone's pediatrician recommend their LO take the iron supplement drops after their 4 month appt.? If so, how's it going for you? If you breastfeed, how do you get them to take it? (We've been mixing it in her bottles, but we don't give her bottles two days a week when I'm home with her and she just spits it out.)

2- Is anyone experiencing cramps and back pain that feel like PMS but not get their period? Mine come on randomly and feel so much like a period but nothing happens. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks in advance!
