Patient's question:
My baby is a premature infant and now weighs nine pounds. Do I need to drink Enfamil premature infant formula? The baby has a little jaundice. Can I eat egg yolk? What kind of help do I want: Can I switch to Enfamil generation one with jaundice? Can I eat egg yolk?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am very happy to assist you: Regarding your consideration that your child no longer needs to consume premature infant formula and can start eating full-term infant formula, your child is currently yellow, which may not be jaundice but could be anemia. Premature infants are prone to anemia and iron deficiency. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. If it is confirmed to be anemia, active treatment and iron supplementation should be provided, such as eating Ful blood. The child should be around 4-5 months corrected gestational age when starting complementary foods. I hope my reply is helpful to you.
