Patient's question:
Does millet porridge affect jaundice in babies? After stopping breastfeeding for a few days, the jaundice level dropped. Will it rise again if I start breastfeeding again?Doctor's answer:
Newborn jaundice has nothing to do with the mother or millet porridge. Jaundice is also divided into breast milk jaundice and pathological jaundice. There is also physiological jaundice. The cycle of physiological jaundice is short, and breast milk jaundice can be resolved by stopping breastfeeding. Pathological jaundice, if not treated properly, can have serious sequelae. If the baby develops jaundice, if it is severe or persistent, it is pathological jaundice and requires hospital treatment.
