Usually is: Babies usually have bore blood cells/weight at birth than adult because they are switching from womb cells to air breathing cells. Their system also cannot keep up with the rapid weight gain for months, so their cell count is higher at birth & becomes a bit anemic by 6mo. The flush appearance is often from this normal feature. A simple blood count confirms it.
