Regarding the question about a 3 month old infant and a 33 hgb level. The
33 is actually the hematocrit level. According to Harriet Lane Handbook,
the normal hgb level for a 2 month old is 11.2g and the hct is 35%. For a 6
month old, the hgb is 12.6g and hct will be 36%. From 6 month-2yrs., the
hgb will be 12.0g and the hct 36%. My question is "Is this baby being
exclusively breastfed or on a formula (low iron?). Hope this info helps
