Anyone have an anemic toddler?

Maybe? but hide them because an overdose is a very big deal. The ice thing sounds like classic anemia (or it was when I did it).

My 14 mo old is anemic; she's taking a liquid iron supplement which we squirt into her mouth with a dropper.

I also try to offer iron-rich foods. I made some pancakes using a recipe on wholesomebabyfood.com that uses infant cereal; each pancake has about 20% of the RDA for toddlers.

And our pedi recommended no more than 20 oz of milk a day.

I know you said she doesn't do liquid vitamins but this really tastes good.

P has to be on an iron supplement and he sucks it out of the dropper before I can even squeeze it in his mouth! I tried it and it's yummy. The Amazon reviews are way better than any other iron supplements.

rxbeth also suggested I hide a nasty med in chocolate syrup once and it worked.

Definitely have her checked. Decreasing the milk consumption should help.

One of my BMB moms swears by cooking using cast iron cookwear.

Just the other day I saw this and I'm intrigued.
