She is only 6 months old and her results apparently show she has very low iron and and very high zinc levels, i dont know much about the effects of zinc levels but obviously low iron is anaemia - how come she can have that at 6 months old? apparently she is being reffered so they can discuss her diet!! she has been breastfed exclusively (appart from a very brief period) and so i thought that would protect her from things like this to some extent! - i feel guilty that i have gone wrong somewhere and not given her what she needs! can anyone give me any clues as to how i can help her iron levels? i already try to make sure she has a good and varied diet as far as i can at her age - where am i going wrong??
