I need to find reliable sources that state that bactrim (or septra) can affect the level of vitamin B12 in a baby’s body 4-8 weeks old.
Or maybe if Bactrim can affect the intrinsic factor in a baby’s body.

Vit B12 is a key factor to prvent pernicious anemia.
Vit B12 is absorbed from specific receptors from the intestine with the help of the interensic factor.
Also, Bactrim is absorbed from the same receptors.
Hence, a competetion is created. Thus the level of Vit B12 enetering the blood stream is decreased.
The effects of lack of Vit B12 is more observed in babies since they do need a lot of vitamins and nutrition for their growth.
