3 mo old baby has a low blood count mother is negative blood and father positive can this be the cause of the low blood count?

This can be a cause if the baby had a low blood count from birth or very shortly after, especially if this is not the first pregnancy. Hemolytic disease of the newborn can be caused by the mother's antibodies attacking the baby's red blood cells if the baby if Rh positive and the mother is Rh negative. The antibodies get into the baby before birth, however, so if the baby developed a low blood count at 3 months it would not be because of the negative/positive blood type.


What does elated white blood count of a baby signifies?

You can't make a difinative diagnosis from just an elevated white-blood count. The baby could be naturally high, could have a cold, flu, or anything else. It is important to note that babies, who are developing their immune systems, are naturally higher because of the sheer number of new foreign bodies they encounter. Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have.


Why is baby born with more white blood cells?

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.

Can an AB blood and B blood parent can have an A plus blood baby?

Yes - AB Parent has genotype IA IB . If the parent with B blood has the genotype IBi, which is entirely possible, then there is a chance that the baby would be IAi, and would have type A blood. Plus/minus has to do with the RH factor in blood, so you can't tell from the information given whether the baby could be "plus". If one of the parents is RH+, the baby could be as well.
