Causes
Blood loss at delivery, prior anemia, or low intake while breastfeeding.
Signs
Fatigue, dizziness, pale skin, breathlessness — confirm with blood tests.
Foods
Lean red meat, liver in moderation (cooked), eggs, beans, dark greens + vitamin C (orange, guava). Continue prescribed iron tablets; take as directed for absorption.
Supplements
Do not double-dose iron without labs; constipation is common — fiber and fluids help.
Emergency
Chest pain, fainting, or heart palpitations — seek urgent care.
