What is iron?
Iron is an essential mineral involved in the transmission of oxygen (via Hemoglobin) to the body's cells. It is necessary for the regulation of cell growth.
What foods contain iron?
Foods such as beans, whole grains, spinach, and dried fruits have a significant amount of iron. So does red meat. Additionally, liver is an excellent source of iron. Iron is also found in breast milk.
Why is iron important?
Iron is an essential building block for baby's growing body. A persistent iron deficiency can lead to anemia. Anemic babies and small children may not grow as expected and may have delays in skills such as walking and talking. Children may be irritable and have a short attention span. If the deficiency is not treated, mental and behavior problems may be permanent.
Why should I have iron added to my baby's food?
As babies become toddlers, their diet changes significantly. Iron deficiency becomes a risk for toddlers who may not be getting the iron they once were from breast milk and baby cereals. (Over half of all babies and toddlers do not get the recommended daily intake of iron.) YoBaby Plus Fruit & Cereal with Iron is a delicious and well-accepted source of iron for a growing toddler.
