Patient's question:
The baby's jaundice is high. Breastfeeding dropped to around 8 o'clock, and then mixed feeding with breast milk and formula for a few days reduced it to 6.8. Later, it was switched to mixed feeding. After 35 days, the jaundice level rose again to 7.5, and the baby's face became noticeably yellow. Is it possible for jaundice caused by biliary atresia to recur?Doctor's answer:
The baby is now 38 days old. Jaundice has been recurring, mainly caused by pathological jaundice such as breast milk jaundice and hemolysis, but not by biliary atresia. If the baby has biliary atresia, stopping breastfeeding will not reduce jaundice, and the stool will turn white and clay-like, with jaundice worsening further. It is recommended that breastfeeding mothers eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins. A check-up in a week or two is advisable. Hope this helps.
