Could your child be iron deficient?
Iron is an important mineral as it helps blood carry oxygen around the body. If your child is looking pale, feeling tired, grumpy and suffering with headaches, they may have an iron deficiency.
This week on the Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast we are talking about Iron Deficiency in babies and children with our Paediatrician Dr Lexi Frydenberg.
We discuss:
- Why iron is such an important mineral for our babies and children
- What iron deficiency is
- What the symptoms of iron deficiency in babies and children are
- How iron deficiency is diagnosed
- How to prevent iron deficiency
- The treatment available to treat iron deficiency
- What any side effects from taking iron supplements are
- How long iron deficiency treatments last
- When an infusion may be needed and what is involved
