Doctor's answer:

Hello, please pay attention to the following points:
1. Physiological jaundice
2. Molar teeth and harelip
3. Breast enlargement and pseudomenstruation
4. Neonatal erythema and milia.
Wishing the baby good health. Hemolytic disease caused by incompatibility between maternal and fetal blood types. The fetal blood type antigen (such as Rh and ABO blood type antigens) inherited from the father is lacking in the mother. During delivery, this fetal blood type antigen enters the mother's body, causing her to produce antibodies against this blood type antigen. In subsequent pregnancies, these antibodies can cross the placenta into the fetal bloodstream, leading to hemolysis.
