ExpertDr.Sabiha AnjumObstetrician and Gynaecologist4 years agoA. The hb levels of a new born baby should be around 14-15.
As your baby has half of it ,it requires treatment.
If you want you can take all the reports in a local hospital for second opinion too.
Also try to find out the cause of anemia in the baby

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl4 years agoA. Hello ma’am It is saved if the doctor is suggesting it to you but still I would advise you to go for a second opinion before you take a decision of blood transfusion because it is always better to be sure about all these things before you take the final decision
