RE: Signs and Symptoms of Iron Deficiency in Children
How to prevent?
• Breast feed babies until 1 year or use iron fortified milk formula and do not introduce cows milk before 1 year as it is low in iron
• Start complimentary feeding by age 6 months with iron fortified cereals or homemade iron rich foods
• Ideally, it is recommended to do a blood test to look for iron deficiency in babies between 9-12 months
