Signs of anemia and how to treat it

  • By Dr. Tanya
  • In Medical Information

  • Signs of anemia may be subtle or may be more pronounced.  Some children may appear pale or feel tired.
  • Anemia is the measure of iron in your blood
  • Anemia is checked with a finger poke at 9 month or 1 year appointment and again before kindergarten
  • Teenage girls should get checked yearly because they lose blood each month with their period and may become anemic
  • It’s important to introduce iron-fortified foods starting at 6 months of age.  Pureed meats, iron fortified cereals and green vegetables are good choices.
  • If your child is anemic your pediatrician may recommend an iron supplement along with iron rich foods to help your child feel better and grow and develop normally.
