I always tell my husband. But I also tell the person who is confiding in me that I will likely tell him, so it's their decision whether or not to continue after that. So naturally, when I tell someone something in confidence, I assume they will be sharing it with their spouse. But honestly, as long as it doesn't go further than that, to me it's just like telling only one person.

My dd has had low iron and I have a history of it as well. We're vegetarians so that is likely the biggest factor. I have used children's vitamins with added iron in the past and that seemed to work well. Also, some great sources of iron are oatmeal and garbanzo beans, so I make sure to use a lot of those. I use quick oats in place of breadcrumbs in pretty much everything (like veggie burgers, black bean burgers, etc). We also make a lot of things like falafel (which requires bread crumbs/quick oats--bonus!) and chickpea curry. Spinach and other leafy greens are great, too. Those things all seem to have helped the situation.
