Mama’s I need advice because I am freaking out 😩 Emma’s doctor just called and told me she tested positive for Bart’s Anemia during her newborn screening, and that I need to make her an appointment with a hemoglobinologist as soon as possible.. I’m sitting here crying because 1) I don’t even know what that is 2) I feel like I did something wrong 😭any info helps!

I don't know what it is either, but regardless, you did nothing wrong!

Anemia is just when someone has very low iron... It's not that severe so don't stress. They'll probably just test her iron levels again and probably recommend a formula rich in iron or something else that can help bring her levels up. My son is lightly anemic as well

@ladyblauvelt, Bart’s is not low iron anemia.
