Dear Ma'am,
In this situation, you need iron supplements from food itself, but iron & calcium supplements or enriched food intake may alter your daily life schedule, like appetite or constipation. Considering the fact, I can prescribe Customised diet & Exercise plan for you & your daughter, consult online for getting such.
Thanks & Regards,
Souvik
