Dr. I Had a baby girl born on dec 30 2010. After birth we had got some problem that she was having Jaundis & her hemoglobin was low so Dr. sugested to us for Blood transfusion so we agreed & then she was ganing weight also now she is of 3 kg after 45 days so we again checked her hemoglobin & we got 8.2 after transfusion it was 15 so Dr. what is your suggesition.
Yes it is low for baby age, it should be around 10-12, as you told she has low at birth due to jaundice, It could be due to hemolysis, visit your pediatrician, go for some test as bilirubin level, reticulocyte count, DCT, PBA. Second possibility is of anemia of infancy, go for blood test as iron profile, vitamin, b 12, folic acid level, get heretics oral Chat Doctor.
