Just had 15 mo appt. My daughter’s hemoglobin dropped to 11.3 from 12.1 in 2 months. Is this a big deal? She was eating less and drinking lots of milk for the last week due to her being sick. But her appetite has been back for the last day since she’s recovering. Doctor not worried, said to do leafy greens more.
My daughter hates veggies haha but she does eat red meat a few times a week and Cheerios. Doctor said no need to drop whole milk levels (she drinks 16 oz). She eats a lot of cheese too. Big dairy fan
Her growth chart is perfect though in terms of height, weight, head size!
Edit so no one thinks they need to check hemoglobin every visit. There is no specific reason we checked other than I am always anxious about hemoglobin and it’s not stressful on baby so they take it for me!
