    does my 14 month old sons anemia qualify for me to get intermittent fmla? wHe gets sick like evey other week, and does have to go once a month for blood test. I believe his sickness all the time is related to his anemia. Would this allow me to qualify for fmla intermittently from my work? I often need to take a few days off a month to care for him.

    hey candice, i'm sorry but i can't directly answer the question you are asking ..... i have no idea of the rules and regulations or of fmla for that matter in the USA .... i do however know that iron deficiency anemia in infants or young children or even adults for that matter can be caused by an unaddressed food intolerance such as lactose intolerance which would trash all his calcium supplies..... calcium is essential for the effective assimilation of iron ....... take him to a nutritionally oriented physician such as a naturopath and get him assessed..... something as simple as supplementing his milk with goats or rice milk that has been fortified with calcium might just solve your problem........... ensure it is organic though as they put some nasty preservatives in commercial varieties..... my little girl is lactose intolerant and she forever had big dark circles under her eyes, bloated belly, constipation, achy bones, insomnia, mood swings when she was that age..... she still gets symptoms when she caves in to milk and dairy but thankfully it's not often.

    bless you
