Anaemia in toddlers

Anaemia is quite common in toddlers. It’s especially likely among those who aren’t keen on meat, fish and vegetables, which are all good sources of iron.

Sometimes the condition is mild and doesn’t cause any symptoms. But for others it can lead to pale skin, lack of energy, breathlessness during exercise, and could mean a child is more prone to picking up infections.
