When It’s Not Just a Phase — Iron Deficiency in Toddlers

never sleeping through the night, the tantrums… the endless sippy cups of milk — I finally got answers.
It was iron deficiency. Something so common, but so easy to miss in toddlers. I kept thinking it was just a phase — but when iron is low, their mood, energy, and even sleep can go haywire.
If your little one’s behavior suddenly feels “too much” — constant meltdowns, pale lips, tired eyes, or never touching lunch — trust your gut and call your pediatrician.
And if your child is already on an iron supplement, make sure it’s one they’ll actually take — without the drama.
