My daughter had her iron levels checked yesterday, and they were a little low. She's been kind of mopey, sleepy, and just acting funny. Looking back I can see that this happens somewhat frequently. She's been really mopey and just kind of sad-looking today. :(
I can't understand why her iron would be low, since she eats quite a bit of peanut butter, breads, rice milk, things like that. My imagination is going kind of haywire, wondering does she have leukemia or something else terrible causing this??????
She's been sick alot since she was born, we've been attributing it to reflux, and recently started her on Prevacid. Could this have something to do with it? Her appetite has improved alot since the Prevacid, so why would her iron be low now?
Any help is appreciated, thanks so much!!!!!
