Does anyone have little ones who are anemic? I just found out my one year old is anemic and the iron supplements they are giving her is nasty and I have tried putting it in juice and mixing it in some of her food. Has anyone else had to do this? Do y’all have any tips?

Give her lots of iron rich foods. Those supplements won't do shit. If she will eat liver that would be best.
Beans, egg yolk, apricot, raisin, red meats, some fish.

@kambam, thank you!!! She eats all of that well I haven’t tried the liver yet. I just took her back to the doctor and her levels hadn’t changed

It can be hard to increase. Sounds gross but liver smoothie might work for her. Puree a little liver with milk of choice or orange juice. Frozen strawberries or berry mix and banana. The vit c in that will also help absorb iron.

I’m definitely going to give the liver a try

Look into the lucky iron fish. You boil it in foods similar to cooking in n iron skillet
