Hi,

Your baby is having iron deficiency anaemia which is common in breastfed babies. You have to give solid foods more, that too which is cooked in iron utensils. Since hemoglobin is too less you have to give iron supplement for few months. Kindly consult nearby pediatrician for further management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
