Low iron in toddler

Anyone's child have low iron?

DD has low iron and she was on a vitamin with iron for about 6 mos. it's didn't help anything. She still has low iron and now has to take a liquid iron supplement 2x a day, in addition to a regular multivitamin. We had to meet with a nutritionist and go over eating habits and iron rich foods. To be honest she eats most of these foods and what's concerning to me is she is not constipated at all from the supplements because she eats healthy. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this and what was the end result?

DS tested low at 10 months, put him on the drops right away, and he was fine for the retest at 1 year, when we stopped the drops. He was fine at the 2 year follow up too, and they didn't test at 3 years. The drops did stain his front teeth, which I'm pissed about, but it is what it is.

I would be concerned. If she is eating iron rich foods and taking supplements, her iron should be ok. I would talk to a doctor.
My DD had low iron at her 9 month appointment. I didn't do the vitamins, just increased iron rich foods she liked. I was afraid of constipation. Her iron was fine at the 12 month follow up.
