  • Maybe increase the amount of red meat in his diet.


  • Eat iron rich foods and almonds.


  • Lots of green leafy vegetables taken with vitamin C, like orange juice or Brussel sprouts. Iron fortified foods such as cereal.


  • Eat regular red meat and green leafy vegies such as spinach, cabbage etc and drink orange juice afterwards to as Vit C helps absorbs the iron . If you are concerned , you can always have a blood test with your doctor to see if he is iron deficient before you take any supplements .


  • Everything I was going to say has already been said by our clever MoM community.


  • supplements?
    have lots of iron rich foods in your diet


  • I read the answers with relish – I too have iron issues. all the best !


  • Red meat and green leafy veggies are best natural source of iron


  • Other than supplements, green leafy veg and lean red meat is the best legumes are also rich in iron. Unfortunately kids don’t always prefer those things…good luck!


  • Apricots high in iron


  • buy the foods high in iron. and incorporate that more into diet, iron enriched cereals and bread, supplements


  • try red meat and green leafy vegies. iron tablets are good for extra iron, especially as teenagers when they need an extra boost.


  • Have iron foods or supplements with vitamin c as it helps the body absorb it….avoid calcium around rhe intake of iron because it counteracts absorbtion……foods such as spinach, greeny leafy veg, mushrooms, lean red meat, beans, are all great sources :)


  • Healthy eating and some iron tablets.


  • Brocolli is an excellent source of iron! Iron tablets would be the easy option.
