I'm no expert but I recently had two blood draws separated by only18 daysand I more than doubled my WBC count in that time period. Given those numbers I'd say you can change it pretty fast (on the order of a week or two). During this 18 day period I ate much more green vegetables, red peppers and carrots, apples and Oranges, yogurt, drank green tea, took afish oil supplament and a multivitamin.This, with a moderate exercise regime, I think helped to double my count in less than 3 weeks.

Red blood count is higher in infants as compared in adults. This is probably so because the growth in infants is very fast. Infants gain three times weight in first year of his life. By the second year the weight gain is only 20 %. So infants need more oxygen carrying capacity in the blood. That is why RBC count is more in infants as compared to adults.
