What should be noted when consulting about jaundice in newborns?

Patient's question:

My child has had a lot of jaundice since birth until now. So far, it hasn't been treated yet. I know very little about many issues related to this. Could you please tell me what to pay attention to when consulting about newborn jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

Dear friend, hello, generally speaking, jaundice needs to be recovered as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is very likely to affect the child's development. It is recommended to check whether there are changes in appetite or abnormal stools. It can also actively be hospitalized for observation and coordinate with blue light and other therapies. However, more attention should be paid to keeping warm and so on. During lactation, the mother should eat more light food to prevent the child's condition from worsening.
