Iron supports energy, focus, growth and immunity! If you feel like your child is tired, often rundown, restless at night, or even a picky eater, these may be signs of iron deficiency.
And did you know that, after 6 months, babies' iron needs increase dramatically?
Easy wins: mini meatballs, baked beans, paired with vitamin C (berries/kiwi/capsicum/oranges) to boost absorption.
Tip: keep big dairy serves ~1 hour away from iron meals. If your child has strong texture preferences or a limited menu and you’re concerned about deficiency, please seek advice/testing before supplements as some forms can cause tummy upset or constipation. Save this guide and tag a parent who’d find it helpful.
