Why are premature infants more at risk for iron-deficiency anemia than full-term infants?
 
  a. They do not nurse or take formula as well as full-term infants, so their intake of iron is considerably less.
  b. Their liver and spleen are smaller and functionally less well-developed than full-term infants.
  c. Premature infants use up their stores of hemosiderin within 6 to 8 weeks compared to approximately 20 weeks for full-term infants.
  d. The bone marrow production of iron is depressed and does not come up to the production level of full-term infants for several months.
