Dear Gloria:
Thanks for sending me the message. Yes, I did get the number, and it
was just below normal level. I know it's unusual, but I also had 2 boys
who I nursed exclusively until exactly 7 months, and both of them were
anemic (more than borderline) at 9 months!!
I do have the Breastfeeding Answer Book, and we read through everything
we could find on the iron. I guess they just didn't meet our kids.
Tricia
