Patient's question:
The baby is 32 days old, and the jaundice has not gone down. The doctor asked to stop breastfeeding, and it has been stopped for four days. Today's check-up is to see how this index is? Should we still stop breastfeeding? Also, the baby's bowel movements have significantly decreased after stopping breastfeeding, only once a day, becoming harder, and the color is golden. The urine is normal!Doctor's answer:
Hello: Neonatal jaundice with pathological jaundice. The jaundice index of normal full-term newborns does not exceed 12.0. Your baby's jaundice index of 15.4 is indeed higher than the normal level. This condition is classified as pathological jaundice and requires timely and effective treatment. You can first give your baby probiotics and other medications for treatment, let your baby drink more water, and get more sun exposure, and re-examine after three days. If the effect is not obvious, then you need blue light therapy
