Patient's question:
Baby is one week old, has jaundice, and it hasn't subsided yet. I want to ask if mothers can drink chicken soup? What else should be noted in terms of diet? Are there any foods that are not suitable for children? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is not much related to the mother's diet. A special case of neonatal jaundice is breast milk jaundice. If breast milk jaundice is confirmed and the jaundice is severe, breastfeeding should be temporarily stopped. If it is not breast milk, breastfeeding can be appropriately continued. The mother should pay attention to eating less food containing yellow pigments, such as carrots, pumpkins, oranges, etc., and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold food. Chicken soup is edible, but it also depends on the situation, so it should be determined according to the situation.
