RBC Count: At birth: 6-8 million/cumm ... some books say RBC count at birth is about 5.5-6.5 million/mm3, which gradually decreases to 3-4 million/mm3 by approximately 10-12 weeks of age .

The fetal platelet count increases linearly with gestation from a mean of 187,000/mcL at 15 weeks to 274,000/mcL at 40 weeks. Normal platelet counts in preterm infants are in the identical range (150,000/mcL to 450,000/mcL) as that of adults.
