Patient's question:
On the third day of birth, jaundice began to appear. On the eighth day, the transcutaneous measurement was 270 umol/L (forehead). On the full moon day, the transcutaneous measurement was 236 (forehead) - 332 (face). The baby is exclusively breastfed and rarely drinks even boiled water. Some people say it's due to breast milk jaundice, while others say it's necessary to undergo blue light treatment. I'm not sure who to listen to.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is very likely that physiological jaundice reappears 2 to 3 days after birth and gradually fades, peaking between days 4 to 6, with the already starting to gradually decrease by the second week. Generally, by the second week, the has already begun to gradually decrease. Properly timed feeding and appropriate nutrition can help reduce and eliminate physiological jaundice. I hope this can help you. This is the advice for the question "My baby is a month old, but the hasn't faded yet, what should I do?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
