And are the neutrophil% and lymph% compared to adults?
(I've tried looking it up, but it only states the reference ranges and that it is normal for newborns, there is no explanation behind it.)

White blood cells are one component of blood together with red blood cells, platelets and plasma. White blood cells are responsible for responding to infections of all types because they are fighting the intruders which are trying to attack our organism or our child’s organism.
Total
white blood cell counts are similar for children and adults but newborns have raised
white blood cells ranges. The level of this range is approaching normal adult
levels and this is only happening two weeks after birth. White blood cells
counts are part of a complete blood count which is usually the first test your
doctor is going to order if your child is feeling unwell.
This is everything I could find when I was trying to find out more about all
this matter. If you have some additional information regarding your questions continue
to share because for some reason there are no explanations for so many things
and the doctors are always to busy to answer on our questions and concerns.
