Complete blood count from a baby's blood sample can tell us the hemoglobin level at such critical age of babies, simple chart of CBC normal ranges can guide a nurse or pediatrician for better diagnosis of a baby.
I mean, when you look to the baby's Hemoglobin in CBC test and found a value of 19.0 mg/dl, you may be scared, but normal levels charts tell us the limits which they are good and other limits we should worry.
Generally, the natural limits of blood cells count tend to decrease when compared with normal 1-3 days baby's CBC test.
