Eating: Have your doctor check her growth. Keep a record of her intake. Ask to see a nutritionist and possibly an occupational therapist to help with her eating. Because she has thalassemia follow up with her hematologist to insure there is not a problem with her blood being low or her iron level being high.

Your baby is at risk for serious anemia & transfusion complications. A decrease in baby's appetite can indicate acute problems such as severe anemia, heart failure, iron overload, & more.
