Question
My baby didn’t have jaundice when they were born, but after three days, jaundice appeared on their face and it got yellower every day. What should I do about recurring newborn jaundice?
Answer
If the baby’s jaundice keeps recurring, it might be caused by breastfeeding jaundice. It’s suggested to stop breastfeeding for three days to observe the situation. If there’s improvement, then you need to stop breastfeeding for treatment. Follow the doctor’s advice for treatment and consider taking some medication. Jaundice can be either physiological or pathological. Based on the current test results, it may be related to pathological jaundice and requires blue light therapy to reduce the yellowing.
