''Causes''
    socioeconomic - iron supplemented milk formulas may be more expensive
    unmodified cow's milk - poor source of iron (form that is not absorbed well) so give >1yr - breast milk - low in Fe but is in easily absorbable form

''Prevention''
    supplementary iron in milk
    dietary education
    free formulas for at risk infants
