Iron deficiency anemia in infants can lead to symptoms such as dizziness and pallor once hemoglobin levels drop. In children, iron plays a crucial role not only in hemoglobin production but also in the function of many organs throughout the body. Iron deficiency can impair children's neurodevelopment, affecting certain behaviors and cognitive abilities. Additionally, it can have adverse effects on muscles, immunity, digestion, and other systems.
