Iron deficiency<\/strong><\/span> eventually develops when ferritin stores are exhausted and hemoglobin levels start to fall.<\/p>\n Iron deficiency anemia<\/strong><\/span> is diagnosed when you no longer have enough hemoglobin in your blood cells.

If there is a lack of iron, blood supply going to the baby may be reduced.<\/p>\n Iron deficiency anemia that goes untreated during pregnancy can lead to:<\/p>\n The following can lead to anemia during pregnancy:<\/p>\n Pregnant women require 30 mg of iron daily.

Despite the multiple benefits of breastfeeding, breastmilk is low in iron. For babies who are born deficient, breastmilk alone will not bring up their iron stores and an iron supplement is necessary.<\/p>\n Risks factors that increase the chances of iron deficiency and anemia:<\/p>\n After six months of age, it is important to start introducing iron-containing foods to your baby.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||13px|||” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Young children typically go through a picky eating phase and may be underweight. Multiple nutrient deficiencies can result, including low iron or other nutrients needed for iron absorption and regulation such as vitamins C and A.<\/p>\n Children who are overweight are also at an increased risk of becoming iron deficient. Hepcidin, a hormone that regulates iron in the body, is found in higher levels in children and adults who are obese. Higher levels of hepcidin can block the uptake of iron into red blood cells.<\/p>\n In addition to not eating enough iron-containing foods, low iron can occur due to:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Puberty is a time of rapid development and increased iron needs.<\/p>\n Poor diet is a leading cause of iron deficiency as preteens and teenagers start eating out of the house more often, exploring their dietary preferences, and making their own food choices.<\/p>\n Risk factors for this age group include:<\/p>\n If your child does embark on a new way of eating such as veganism, provide resources in the form of books or websites from trusted sources to help them understand their nutritional needs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Iron deficiency can be corrected.

Many doctors will say results are normal because they are within range, however current ranges are too broad for optimal health.

Heme iron sources are easier to absorb. Heme iron is found in chicken, beef, egg yolks, pork, shellfish, as well as other animal meats and seafood.<\/p>\n Non-heme iron is found in plant foods like legumes, nuts, seeds, and dark green leafy vegetables. This form of iron is not as easily absorbed because plant foods contain substances such as tannins and phytic acids, which can reduce the absorption of iron. Vegans and vegetarians are at a higher risk of iron deficiencies because they do not consume animal-based products.<\/p>\n Calcium blocks the absorption of both heme and non-heme iron. Examples of foods that are high in calcium are milk, cheese, yogurt, fortified milk substitutes, and nuts. To increase the absorption of iron from foods do not serve foods high in calcium at the same time as high iron foods.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_text_color=”#e63888″ text_font_size=”24px” header_3_text_color=”#e63888″ text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”20px||20px||true|false” border_width_top=”3px” border_color_top=”#e63888″ border_width_bottom=”3px” border_color_bottom=”#e63888″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Children who drink milk are at an increased risk of iron deficiency.

If your child is diagnosed with iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia, supplementation is necessary to raise iron levels.<\/p>\n Supplementing with iron is especially important for picky eaters or kids who avoid meats.<\/p>\n While heme iron is the easiest to absorb from food, it is difficult to use heme iron in supplement form as it is sourced from animal blood.<\/p>\n The majority of iron supplements on the market have inferior forms of iron that are not well absorbed and cause side effects such as constipation, diarrhea, nausea, intestinal pain, and black stools. Black stool is a sign of unabsorbed iron, which irritates the digestive tract.<\/p>\n Visit your doctor if you have tar-like black stool which is a serious sign of bleeding in the digestive tract.<\/p>\n When iron supplements come in contact with teeth, they can cause discoloration or graying of the teeth.
