My daughter has been plant based since conception. She turned 2 last month and had a routine blood test which came back with a low wbc count (4). Everything else was normal, I believe. At her 1 year visit wbc count was also low (3.9). It was redrawn two weeks later and we were told it was higher (not sure what level). Now her pediatrician wants to have it redrawn again in 6 months. Does anyone else have a plant based child with low wbc? She normally seems to get milder versions of colds (compared to her brother). But, she currently has a head cold, mild, but still has a runny nose 1 week into it. Should I be concerned?
She also keeps getting a spot of diaper rash. It goes away, but comes back often (usually when she’s been in a wet diaper too long).
I’m trying to do everything right, but it’s hard not to worry.
