My baby is 23 days old and is exclusively breastfed. The jaundice value on the forehead is 12.7, and there is more frequent vomiting. Should I stop breastfeeding? Is drinking glucose water and sunbathing beneficial for jaundice regression? I would like to inquire about newborn jaundice levels?
If a child has jaundice, the entire skin can be observed as yellow, just like how we see our own skin. Generally, there are no other symptoms. If you’re unsure, it’s best to go to a better hospital to see a doctor, use a device to measure a transcutaneous bilirubin index, and if it slightly increases, oral jaundice-lowering medication may be needed. However, the most accurate method is still blood testing.
The baby’s face is yellow, and the stool is a bit yellow. How do you determine if the newborn has jaundice?
A 5-month-old female baby, breastfed, started solid foods at 4 months. However, she has been experiencing slow growth recently, with unsatisfactory increases in height and weight. Accompanied by sleep issues and excessive sweating, she was diagnosed with calcium deficiency and prescribed cod liver oil, but there has been no significant improvement. The question is whether such development is normal, and if not, how should it be handled.
First, follow the instructions on the packaging and observe your child’s reaction. If they get hungry quickly, it may mean you added too little; increase the amount next time. If they have dry stools in the morning, it may mean you added too much; decrease the amount next time. Mine is from Abbott, one scoop mixed with sixty milliliters. Perhaps different brands of formula milk have different preparation methods. I suggest buying a warmer; it’s very useful if you’re using powdered formula!
