Should I Be Concerned With Child Having Low Hemoglobin Level?

My daughter just had her Hemoglobin checked and it was 11.2. Should I be concerned? The pediatrician didn't seem concerned, but I know that she has had a history of low hgb at 9mths was 11.1, 12 mth was 11.4 and 2 yrs was 12.8( good) mand now at 5yrs is 11.2. Iam just wandering why it is low and should I be concerned and take her back in to find out why it is low?

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
This is normal Physiological anemia of childhood.
There is no cause for concern.
Hemoglobin starts rising after 3 years of age.

Take Care
