Patient's question:
Baby has been born, and since then, the grandmother has often given the baby soaked walnut shell water. Now the baby is 5 days old and has been hospitalized due to high jaundice. Is there a relationship between the jaundice and the soaked walnut shell water? Otherwise, the baby will definitely continue to drink it when it comes back.Doctor's answer:
Children who are breastfed are not recommended to be given any liquid drinks other than vitamin A or vitamin D, and the same applies to formula milk if it is prepared according to the recommended concentration. Unless the child experiences symptoms such as vomiting or increased dehydration. For babies with early onset breast milk jaundice, they should be fed breast milk in small amounts and multiple times, and attention should be paid to prevent the incorrect feeding of sugary water, etc. This can increase the frequency of breastfeeding, which is beneficial for milk excretion.
