Patient's question:
My daughter has been born for four days, and her skin has been yellow all along. She is in an incubator. During the check-up, the doctor said it's mild jaundice symptoms. I don't know what's going on. I want to ask if the baby's jaundice is caused by the mother?Doctor's answer:
Baby jaundice, if the baby appears jaundiced around three to four days old and is in good spirits, eating well, and nursing well, this is normal physiological jaundice and is unrelated to the mother. Adopt the method of careful observation, allowing the baby to eat, drink, and eliminate frequently, monitoring the jaundice index. As long as the jaundice gradually subsides or the jaundice index falls within the normal range, no treatment is recommended. In severe cases, blue light therapy should be administered.
