Patient's question:
After the newborn was born, feeding was normal. The jaundice level today is 13.6, yesterday was 12.6, and the day before yesterday was 9.5. Today is the sixth day since birth—is this normal? How much blue light treatment is needed if it is below this level?Doctor's answer:
Babies typically develop physiological jaundice 2-3 days after birth, peak within 7 days, and usually disappear within 2 weeks. Your baby's bilirubin level is below the upper limit of physiological jaundice, which requires active intervention. It is recommended to use blue light therapy if the level is below 12, as blue light is currently the safest method for jaundice treatment. Additionally, the underlying cause should be investigated.The above advice is for the question "Newborn feeding normally after birth." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
