What is the reason for the child's stool not being yellow right after birth?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my child is 22 days old. A few days ago, they were hospitalized for treatment of jaundice, which has now improved. Yesterday, a thorough check-up revealed a jaundice level of 126. The doctor advised against breastfeeding and gave them some Yinzhihuang. Today, their stool is not yellow.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it seems that the baby's bowel movements are closely related to taking Gentian and Coptis. It is recommended to pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm, give them more water, and try reducing the amount of Gentian and Coptis to see if it improves. If it still doesn't, it's best to take the baby to the hospital to see a doctor. This is the advice for the question "Why isn't the baby's bowel movement yellow at 22 days old?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
