yes it is low for baby age, it should be around 10-12, as you told she has low at birth due to jaundice,. it could be due to hemolysis, visit your pediatrician, go for some test as bilirubin level, reticulocyte count, dct, pbf. second possiblity is of anemia of infancy, go for blood test as iron profile, vitamin ,b 12, folic acid level, get hemetinics oral drugs.
