Risk Factors
- The risk of developing iron deficiency anemia is increased in:
- Infants younger than 12 months who drink cow's milk rather than breast milk or iron-fortified formula
- Young children who drink a lot of cow's milk rather than eating foods that supply the body with more iron
- Iron deficiency anemia most commonly affects babies 9 - 24 months old. All babies should have a screening test for iron deficiency at this age. Babies born prematurely may need to be tested earlier.
