Patient's question:
The question of when to treat baby jaundice is really troublesome: my baby was born via cesarean section on February 14th of this year. Jaundice was detected 24 hours after birth. When should the baby be treated for jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding your baby:First, observe the onset and resolution time of jaundice. If it is physiological jaundice, it typically appears two to three days after birth. Breastfeeding jaundice usually starts appearing seven days after birth. It typically begins to fade around seven days, with most jaundice completely resolved within about 14 to 15 days. In some cases of breastfeeding jaundice, the resolution may be slightly delayed, and it might take up to about a month.
