[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your child? Does she have an iron deficiency? If not, I wouldn't worry so much. Children don't need huge amounts of iron -- just what is proportional to their size. [/quote] She is 4 and has no iron deficiency that I know of. I am asking about that because we had her well visit last week and the doctor asked how is her iron intake and I said she eats some type of meat at least once a day. But I got kind of curious…. How does iron work in the body? Do we need a daily intake or just to keep a certain level? What I mean is, if I don't eat any or very little iron the whole week, but on Friday I eat some beef liver - does that make up for it? I am just wondering if it is something I have to worry everyday and start serving read meat often or we can just keep doing what we have been doing….[/quote]
