Patient's question:
There are many issues with the newborn. Thank you for your explanation. The baby is 12 days old and has been under blue light for five days. After returning home, the baby doesn’t like to suck the nipple to feed. On the first day back, the baby didn’t sleep at all during the afternoon nap and had very dry and hard green poop. It has started to turn yellow yesterday. Today is the third day back, and the baby still doesn’t suck the nipple to feed. Yesterday afternoon, the baby was fed with breast milk (bottle?), 30ml, and slept for six hours. Last night, the baby ate 80ml of breast milk (bottle) and slept for three hours. Just now, the baby was directly fed breast milk, ate a little, and then took a nap. The baby always doesn’t suck well. I always feel that the baby’s stomach is rumbling, but there hasn’t been any poop. What is the baby’s actual appetite? The baby has had four shivers from last night until now. What is the normal body temperature? After leaving the hospital, the doctor prescribed Sodium Fructose Phosphate Solution. Isn’t this medicine for treating myocardial ischemia? The baby has hemolytic jaundice, and the level dropped to 6 when discharged. The hemoglobin was 121 when admitted and 115 when discharged. Besides that, one value related to CPR became 8 when discharged. So, what is this medicine treating for the baby?Doctor's answer:
The baby is best fed with breast milk. It is recommended to let the baby directly breastfeed and avoid using a bottle. You can feed the baby every three hours. With breast milk, you can feed on demand. The medication prescribed by the doctor is also for nourishing the heart muscle. It is suggested that you take good care of the baby and pay attention to encouraging the baby to eat more and metabolize more. The test results indicate that it is contagious, so you can retest the blood in a few more days. Generally, the baby should consume 70 to 80 milliliters of milk per feeding. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my newborn's stool is dry and green?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
