Specializes in Medical Oncology

See pediatrician now: Hopefully you are seeing a good pediatrician who is working on determining the cause for this - anemia in childhood can have lifelong effects. One possible culprit is milk, or excessive milk intake compared to other iron rich foods, causes anemia in infants and toddlers.
