DD is 10 and so will soon enough start having periods. She has been vegetarian since birth (DH and I both are too) and she is a very picky eater. She's very skinny and she says she feels weaker than other children in her class. I am worried about when she will have a significant amount of blood loss each month and her being or becoming anaemic. I became vegetarian when I was 16 but I always ate well and plenty whereas DD eats a lot less and not very varied.
