She told me the same about my little one. She gave me a list of foods to feed him that are high in iron and told me to follow up with his peds at his next check up
I had a similar problem with WIC they told me my son was under weight and at his 9 month appointment his pediatrician said he was growing and weighing perfectly. My suggestion would be to listen to the subject matter expert which is the PED

If it was a finger prick she might be borderline.
Like some days mine shows lows but other times it's perfectly fine. Blood draw is more accurate than a prick to determine anemia

Go by your pediatrician. If you’re worried go back to the pediatrician and tell them what wic told you.

I would do this and in the mean time put lots of spinach in her diet. You can hide it smoothies and scrambled eggs.. pretty much anything!

Some days my iron is low sometimes it's normal. Maybe just the day the test was done. I didn't even know WIC did health checks
