Hi.. 10 months old baby usually have hemoglobin in this range due to physiological anemia... U can do dietary modifications as advised by your doctor.. as iron is also important in brain development , most of the pediatrician will prescribe iron supplements during this period as till two years of age max growth of brain will occur.. So no harm in taking supplements.. Thanks
