Patient's question:
Newborn seventh day went to the hospital for a thorough examination, said the jaundice level was 15-16. I want to ask if it's related to eating more pumpkin. The breast milk was initially yellow like egg yolk, is it breast milk jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, according to the situation you described, there are many reasons that can lead to newborn jaundice, such as excessive bilirubin uptake, impaired bilirubin metabolism, infection, etc. It is best to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. If the baby is generally in good condition, jaundice may rise after stopping breastfeeding for three days, which could be considered as breast milk jaundice. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
