You did the right thing by stopping iron.
If you have been giving cow’s milk please continue to give.
Add fruits and vegetables in his diet.

Black stools while on iron medication is a common name thing. Nothing to worry as long as child is active and playful . Eventually the color of stools will be back to normal after stopping iron medication.
Next Steps
Increase the fibre content of weaning food , include more mashed banana etc
