Answer 1

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that is crucial for transporting oxygen throughout the body.

In newborns, the level of hemoglobin can vary depending on factors such as gestational age and overall health.
Understanding normal hemoglobin levels in newborns is important for assessing their health and development.

Key Points

In newborns, the typical range of hemoglobin levels is generally between 17 to 19 grams per deciliter.
This higher level of hemoglobin is necessary to support the infant's oxygen transport needs, particularly after birth when the baby transitions from receiving oxygen through the placenta to breathing independently.
Newborns typically have higher hemoglobin levels compared to adults due to their adaptation to the intrauterine environment.

Hence, the correct answer is '17-19 Gram'.
