Patient's question:
My baby was carefully diagnosed with jaundice a while ago, and is now undergoing blue light treatment. I'm worried about the side effects, so could you please tell me what newborns with jaundice should avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
For newborns with jaundice, their mothers need to pay special attention to their diet. First and foremost, it is important to avoid consuming foods rich in color to prevent worsening jaundice through breast milk, such as carrots, pumpkins, oranges, etc. Additionally, it is essential to avoid spicy, extremely cold, and irritating foods, such as garlic and chili. During the treatment period, patients should follow a disciplined diet, maintain regular routines, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health to keep themselves clean and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
