Common Causes and Nutritional Interventions for Infant and Toddler Anemia

Abstract

Infant and toddler anemia is a prevalent nutrition-related health issue worldwide, particularly during critical developmental stages,
significantly impacting childrens growth, immune function, and cognitive abilities. This study primarily explores the common causes of
infant anemia, including iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, congenital factors, and improper feeding practices. Additionally, it analyzes relevant nutritional intervention measures, such as proper dietary supplementation, the application of fortified foods, optimization of breastfeeding, and dietary diversity strategies. Research indicates that scientifically sound nutritional interventions can effectively improve infant anemia
conditions, enhance childrens health levels, and provide a reference for public health policy formulation.
