Patient's question:
On the 9th day, the jaundice value measured was 80 for the head and 60 for the chest. On the 9th day, the head was 117, and the chest was 100.Doctor's answer:
Some babies have physiological jaundice, and exposing them to more sunlight is enough. It will naturally subside on its own. Breast milk jaundice refers to jaundice that occurs during breastfeeding. The symptoms of breast milk jaundice mainly include good nutritional development and general condition in the child, normal weight gain, normal stool color, and no enlargement of the liver or spleen. If jaundice decreases after stopping breastfeeding for 3 days, it can be confirmed as breast milk jaundice.First, you need to confirm if the baby has breast milk jaundice. If so, there’s nothing to worry about. Our baby didn’t take any medicine; just more sun exposure helped it gradually disappear @! If the breast milk jaundice is mild, you can continue breastfeeding. If it’s severe, stop breastfeeding for a few days until the jaundice improves, then resume breastfeeding.
