Neonatal Anemia

Neonatal anemia is a condition where a newborn baby has a lower than normal level of red blood cells or hemoglobin, which is vital for transporting oxygen in the body. It can occur due to various reasons, such as insufficient iron during pregnancy, blood loss during delivery, or certain medical conditions. Symptoms may include pale skin, lethargy, and difficulty breathing. Treatment often involves iron supplements or blood transfusions, depending on the severity. Early detection and management are important to ensure the healthy development of the baby.
