If your toddler has gone from eating everything to skipping meat, you’re probably wondering about iron deficiency in kids,and you don’t have to guess your way through it.
My daughter Adena used to eat sardines and steak without hesitation. About a year ago she got selective and stopped eating the foods richest in iron like meat, chicken and fish. In this episode, I walk through the three-day iron reality check I ran on my own picky eater, three food boosters that help even without meat, and how to know if your child needs basic food support or a more targeted therapeutic plan. I’m also sharing what I learned from Dr. Anna Garber, a clinician who focuses heavily on iron in kids, so you get a real expert gut check instead of more Googling.
