What to do on the 7th day of a newborn's jaundice

Patient's question:

The jaundice level is 15.6, and it's recommended to be hospitalized. But the child is only seven days old, and the mother's milk has just come in and she's still in the postpartum period. When she was discharged from the hospital, the doctor said that the jaundice would gradually subside after 14 days. Now, I don't know who to listen to.

Doctor's answer:

Jaundice usually disappears basically around one month. If it hasn't disappeared, then it's necessary to consider whether it's pathological jaundice. If you have been breastfeeding continuously, there is a possibility of ABO hemolysis. Suggestions: It is recommended to check blood tests such as a complete blood count at a regular hospital to determine if there are any abnormalities.
