As a childless pediatrician I do find myself annoyed when academic presenters say things like “as a parent” you know this or that, etc. Well, I’m not a parent but I’m a well education pediatrician. Doesn’t make me less of a doctor because I don’t have a kid.

Did not expect this to blow up. This is not an uncommon thing I see in clinic. Excessive milk intake causes severe iron deficiency anemia. The body is unable to absorb iron bc milk slows its absorption in the GI tract and has very little iron.
