Hi
I have a 3 year old DD who is as sweet as pie, uses her manners majority of the time, is a great kid etc etc but can throw severe tantrums (not often, but often enough) and when she does they can last for an hour of her just screaming and been inconsolable.
Has anyone heard anything about lack of iron causing the severity of tantrums to be worse??
I asked my family GP about getting a blood test but he said the trauma of getting blood from her would be worse than the tantrum (yeah, come to my house when she is in full throws of a tantrum).
I read something some time ago in the Sunday paper but cant remember all the details.
Has anyone had the same issue and put their child on some sort of iron suppliement and found an improvement.
She is a great kids, very loving 99.9% of the time but man she can throw a tantrum!
