Dominic had an iron (hemoglobin) level blood test this week and it turned out to be normal. :)
Dominic's level: 12.2 gm/dl
Normal level: 11.7 gm/dl (according to the nurse at our pediatrician's office)
Normal levels for children between the ages of six months and nine years range from between 10.5 and 14 gm/dl, with the average being 12. (Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, Behrman, Kliegman and Arvin, 1996).
I'm quite happy with this as I don't give him any supplements. Dominic is happy and healthy! :)
