Question
My baby is 40 days old and still has jaundice on their face. The bilirubin level is 5.8. How should I mix feed?
Answer
Jaundice usually lasts for 3 to 4 weeks, gradually fading in the second month, and in some cases, it may take up to 10 weeks to completely disappear. If breastfeeding is interrupted for 3 to 4 days during the jaundice period, the bilirubin level may decrease by at least 50%. Under the current situation, the baby’s jaundice is mild, and no special treatment is needed if the baby is in good health.
