How to Relieve Recurrent Neonatal Jaundice

Patient's question:

Premature baby is currently two months old. Previously, jaundice was 19.5, which was reduced to 10.5 after medication. After half a month of follow-up check, it rose to 12.8 again. How can neonatal jaundice recurrence be relieved?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the baby is currently breastfeeding, it could be considered breast milk jaundice. Let the baby eat more milk and have more bowel movements. Alternatively, you could stop breastfeeding for 3 to 5 days and give the baby formula, while also monitoring the data at the hospital a few times. If the jaundice is just mild, it is likely breast milk jaundice. In that case, you should focus on breastfeeding the baby and take the two medications I mentioned. Increase daily exercise to boost the patient's immunity and avoid recurrence of the condition.
