So many reasons...: The answer to your question is going to be solved by the hematologist you are going to see, not by us guessing with no further information here. The list of newborn anemia causes is long - from inborn problems with red cell production to nutritional problems to blood loss to infection - and many combinations of these. It will take a lot of detective work, exam and history to put it all together.
