Patient's question:
Baby is 18 days old and has slightly high, so the doctor asked to stop breastfeeding for three days. The first two days, because the milk was blocked, she had a fever of over 38 degrees, so she used a breast pump to express the milk. Today, when the baby was feeding, she noticed that the milk was soft and not as full as usual, and the baby seemed not to be satisfied. What should I do? Please advise any good methods to increase milk supply. Urgent! Please reply quickly! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Jaundice usually gradually disappears in about two to three weeks, and at the latest within one month. It is recommended to give the child more plain water to drink and have the child checked by a pediatrician at the hospital after one month. For a one-month-old baby with high jaundice levels, no special treatment is necessary. If the mother is anxious, oral jaundice-reducing medication can be taken while monitoring the jaundice levels. If the oral medication is not effective, breastfeeding can be stopped for a few days to observe. It is recommended that the mother pay attention to the baby's diet and give the baby some nutritious food.
