Patient's question:
Baby has been born, and since then, my mother-in-law has often given the baby soaked walnut skin water. Now the baby is 5 days old and has been hospitalized due to high jaundice. I wonder if there is a relationship between the soaked walnut skin water and the jaundice. Otherwise, the baby will definitely continue to drink it when he 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, it is recommended to feed them breast milk in small amounts and multiple times, and pay attention to prevent the incorrect feeding of sugar water, etc. This can increase the frequency of breastfeeding, which is beneficial for milk excretion.
