• #17 Prevention of Iron Deficiency in Infants and Toddlers | AAFP

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2002/1001/p1217.html

  The primary prevention of iron deficiency anemia in infants and toddlers hinges on healthy feeding practices. In infants, the introduction of cow’s milk in the first year of life is the greatest dietary risk factor for the development of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. Therefore, the strict avoidance of cow’s milk in the first 12 months of life is essential in preventing iron deficiency anemia. […] To prevent iron deficiency, another option is a daily oral iron supplement, using ferrous sulfate drops or infant vitamin drops with iron. Iron supplementation via drops or iron-fortified cereal should be continued throughout the period of breastfeeding. […] In the second year of life, cow’s milk continues to cause problems in maintaining iron stores, and its consumption should be limited to less than 24 oz per day, with some clinicians calling for a stricter limit of 16 oz per day. […] Other preventive measures for toddlers include encouraging a diversified diet rich in sources of iron and vitamin C, continuing use of cereals fortified with iron instead of more advertised cereals, avoiding excessive juice intake, and giving an iron-containing vitamin.

• #18 Iron and iron deficiency | Better Health Channel

  https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/iron

  Preventing iron deficiency in babies, children and young people […] Some suggestions to prevent iron deficiency in babies less than 12 months old include: Have an iron-rich diet during pregnancy. Red meat is the best source of iron. Tests to check for anaemia should be conducted during pregnancy. If your doctor prescribes iron supplements, take them only according to instructions. Breastfeed your baby or choose iron-fortified infant formulas. Don’t give your baby cows milk or other fluids that may displace iron-rich solid foods before 12 months old. Don’t delay the introduction of solid foods. Start giving your baby pureed foods when they are around 6 months old. Fortified baby cereal made with iron-fortified infant formula or breastmilk is generally the first food to offer. This is because of its iron content, but also because its texture is easy to change. Introduce soft lumpy foods or mashed foods at around 7 months.

  To prevent iron deficiency in toddlers and preschoolers: Include lean red meat in their diet 3 to 4 times a week. Offer meat alternatives such as dried beans, lentils, chickpeas, canned beans, poultry, fish, eggs and small amounts of nuts and nut pastes. These are important sources of iron in your child’s daily diet. If your family follows a vegan or vegetarian diet, you may need to seek advice from a dietitian to ensure you are meeting all your child’s dietary needs. Include vitamin C in their diet as this helps the body to absorb more iron. Make sure your child has plenty of foods rich in vitamin C like oranges, lemons, mandarins, berries, kiwifruit, tomatoes, cabbage, capsicum and broccoli. Encourage solid foods at mealtimes and take care that toddlers are not filling up on drinks between meals. Remember that chronic diarrhoea can deplete your child’s iron stores, while intestinal parasites such as worms can cause iron deficiency. See your doctor for prompt diagnosis and treatment. Fussy eaters may be at risk due to poor intake or lack of variety in the foods they eat. Seek advice from your dietitian, local doctor or child health nurse on how to manage a fussy eater.

  To prevent iron deficiency in teenagers: Talk to your child about the importance of iron. Help them become informed enough to make their own responsible food choices. Encourage iron-rich foods and meals, such as iron-fortified breakfast cereals and breads, and serve meat, poultry or fish with the evening meal. Offer good sources of non-haem iron such as dried beans, lentils, peas, broccoli, spinach, beans, fortified cereals, breads and whole grains if your child wants to avoid red meat or become vegetarian. Vitamin C-rich foods should also be encouraged, such as fruits or vegetables with meals. Encourage only moderate amounts of tea and coffee, as these can interfere with iron absorption.

• #21 Iron Deficiency Anemia Treatment & Management: Approach Considerations, Iron Therapy, Management of Hemorrhage

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/202333-treatment

  Certain populations are at sufficiently high risk for iron deficiency to warrant consideration for prophylactic iron therapy. These include pregnant women, women with menorrhagia, consumers of a strict vegetarian diet, infants, adolescent girls, and regular blood donors. […] Pregnant women have been given supplemental iron since World War II, often in the form of all-purpose capsules containing vitamins, calcium, and iron. If the patient is anemic (hemoglobin 11 g/dL), administer the iron at a different time of day than calcium because calcium inhibits iron absorption. […] The practice of routinely administering iron to pregnant females in affluent societies has been challenged. Nevertheless, providing prophylactic iron therapy during the last half of pregnancy continues to be advisable, except in settings where careful follow-up for anemia and methods for measurement of serum iron and ferritin are readily available.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/202333-treatment

  Iron supplementation of the diet of infants is advocated. Premature infants require more iron supplementation than term infants. Infants weaned early and fed bovine milk require more iron because the higher concentration of calcium in cow milk inhibits absorption of iron. Usually, infants receive iron from fortified cereal. Additional iron is present in commercial milk formulas. […] Iron supplementation in populations living on a largely vegetarian diet is advisable because of the lower bioavailability of inorganic iron than heme iron. […] The addition of iron to basic foodstuffs in affluent nations where meat is an important part of the diet is of questionable value and may be harmful. The gene for familial hemochromatosis (HFe gene) is prevalent (8% of the US white population). Excess body iron is postulated to be important in the etiology of coronary artery disease, strokes, certain carcinomas, and neurodegenerative disorders because iron is important in free radical formation.

  Appropriate dietary advice should be given to all women regarding healthy eating. Appropriate surveillance and treatment should be given regarding endemic infections that may cause anemia (e.g. hookworm, malaria). […] Fortification of food with iron has met with a number of barriers. Fortified foods are often financially unavailable to the poorest segments of the population who have the greatest risk of micronutrient deficiencies. Food choices for fortification need to be chosen carefully in order to deliver greatest benefit to those individuals at highest risk. […] Because of the importance of adequate pre-pregnancy iron stores, WHO guidelines recommend once-weekly supplementation with 60 mg elemental iron and 2.8 mg folic acid in all non-pregnant women of reproductive age living in regions with a greater than 20% prevalence of anemia (most developing countries). This together with regular deworming has been shown to be effective in increasing iron stores, stabilizing Hb and reducing soil transmitted helminth infections over periods of several years.
