Patient's question:
My aunt told me that the child is still breastfeeding, but the baby still has jaundice. Is there any other way to continue breastfeeding without weaning?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice, the first consideration is physiological jaundice, which can completely disappear within two weeks. Attention should be paid to keeping the newborn warm, appropriate early feeding, sufficient water and heat supply, as well as the early discharge of fetal feces. Drinking more water is beneficial for the baby's jaundice in terms of the excretion of bilirubin and promoting the resolution of jaundice, but it doesn't necessarily have to be glucose water; ordinary plain water can also be used. Feeding infants with glucose water is beneficial for reducing jaundice, mainly because it promotes the excretion of bilirubin.
