Tricia,
Did you find out the actual number? Is the baby truly borderline? This
is unusual in a breastfed baby. Do you have access to the Breastfeeding
Answer Book? If not, I can e-mail you privately, as it would be a long
post. The following is an excerpt from the new BAB pg. 144 that I
thought would interest you. "The researchers found no cases of anemia
within the first year in babies breastfed exclusively for seven months
and concluded that breastfeeding exclusively for seven months reduces the
risk of anemia...."
