Iron deficiency anemia is a leading cause of infant mor-bidity and mortality worldwide.1 Numerous studieshave demonstrated that even moderate anemia (hemo-globin < 100 g/L) is associated with depressed mental and motor development in children that may not be re-versible.2–4 Because of the possibl...
