WHY DO TODDLERS NEED IRON? (Prevent IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA USING THESE IRON RICH FOODS!)

[@JillCastle]

What else do you need to know about iron for toddlers?

[@jovica5412]

That's everything alright but the main problem is the toddlers don't want to eat , how we can fix that?

Scroll through my other videos on toddler eating in this channel!

Hello and thank you for the information! What do you think about spooning of the toenails? That is what my toddler has that brought me here to iron supplementation. My son almost 2 and very hesitant to eat any meat. I offer it every day but he just uses quality dairy for protein.

Thank you Jill for the valuable information! I have 2 and a half year old twins and the Dr said they are both low on iron this info will help greatly.

[@JillCastle]

Glad it was helpful!

Great advice! Especially starting at 05:00 was what I benefited the most. The insights and tips shared there were truly valuable and applicable in real life. Thank you for highlighting that point and providing such helpful content. 😊

My 19 month old just got diagnosed with Severe anemia 9.9. He eats chicken salmon, carrots, avocado, guacamole, bell peppers, blueberries, raspberries, pasta, tomato. He loves milk though. So he needs beans and broccoli?

A breastfeeding mom and my 21month old has low iron her hemoglobin is 9.2 and her pediatrician gave her iron supplement to be taken for 6months. Is it okay if I also take Iron supplements cause I have also low Iron levels . Will it affect my breastmilk ?

[@JillCastle]

Yes, it's ok for you to take iron too.

[@nelvin8126]

[@JillCastle]

I don't but I'll add it to the list - thanks for the idea!

I would like this too!

I have a question, I think my four year old may be lacking in iron (tired and dark circles) we eat healthy but she’s picky. Also, she’s never had the fortified foods(bad ingredients in them) why is it ok to eat over the recommended dose in a cereal But discouraged to take an iron supplement that has the daily recommended amount? 🤔

[@JillCastle]

A daily multi with iron is fine for kids but if they are iron deficient, the RDA is not enough to replenish iron stores. The first place to begin is to have your child's ferritin checked by their doctor if you suspect a deficiency.

[@christineross7620]

@@JillCastle ok thank you! Most things be online say not to. But then I found a cereal that had way more than the multi! So was confused. Thank you for your response!

Thanks For oatmeal Won’t the milk prevent iron from absorbing

[@JillCastle]

Maybe a little bit? But it's still a valuable source of iron. :)

Love it

I took my 1 years old baby to a pediatric hematologist for iron deficiency and he put in iron drops treatment with a high dose, I’m a little scare to overdose, he is taking 5 ml x day because he hemoglobin is 7.7 , I was giving the normal dose of 1 ml but now I’m scare to give him 5 ml , any suggestions?

[@JillCastle]

The hemotologist probably spoke with your pediatrician - I would call your pediatrician and just double check.

How are the levels of your child now? Going through this ...
