Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is a type of anemia that occurs due to the lack of iron in the blood. The disruption of red blood cell formation resulting in a low concentration of hemoglobin (Hb). Low iron reserves in neonates are the impact of maternal iron deficiency results in which are characterized by low levels of neonatal hemoglobin and ferritin. This study aimed to determine the difference of hemoglobin and ferritin levels in neonates from pregnant women with IDA and without IDA. This study used Cross-Sectional design, samples were collected in several public health services. Forty-two pregnant women were divided into two groups (IDA and healthy groups). Data were analyzed using the T-test. The hemoglobin and ferritin levels in neonates from mother with IDA was lower (9.2 gr%, 1.2 ng/mL, respectively) than healthy mothers (16.8 gr%, 2.3 ng/mL, respectively). The significant differences were found both in hemoglobin and ferritin level in neonates from mothers with and without IDA (p <0.05). The level of hemoglobin and ferritin in neonates was significantly different from mother with and without IDA. The determination of hemoglobin and ferritin level of pregnant mother are important to investigate hemoglobin and ferritin level of fetal, in order to prevent anemic baby.
