Question

My child is 35 days old, and their complexion is still a bit yellow. Is it persistent jaundice? The child is being breastfed, and their stool is yellow. How should I handle this situation?

Answer

It is recommended to first visit the hospital to confirm whether it is milk jaundice or hepatobiliary jaundice. If it is milk jaundice, it is suggested to drink more milk in the next two days to prevent milk reflux. If the jaundice is caused by liver and gallbladder issues, timely treatment is required. Jaundice has physiological and pathological characteristics. According to the current measurement of bilirubin, the total bilirubin level does not increase significantly, and there is no need for blue light therapy.
