Iron- deficiency anemia

Factors which increase iron intake and absorption:

  1. Encourage breastfeeding during the first 6 months (iron absorbed better from formula milk).
  2. If fed formula milk, use those fortified with iron.
  3. Baby cereals contain extra iron.
  4. Standard cow's milk not recommended below 1 year of age.
  5. Fresh fruit and vegetables (vitamin C) enhance iron absorption by changing ferrous (predominant in vegetables) to better absorbed ferric iron (predominant in meat).
  6. Foods are rich in iron (red meat, oily fish, dark green vegetables, beans and pulses, dried fruit, and nuts).
  7. Avoid high-fiber foods and tannins (tea) as they decrease iron absorption.
