Question
My baby is 23 days old today, breastfeeding, and has a forehead jaundice level of 12.7. He vomits quite frequently. Do I need to stop breastfeeding? Does drinking glucose water and sunbathing help jaundice fade?
Answer
If the jaundice level reaches 12.7, whether it is physiological or pathological jaundice, it indicates liver damage. To accurately diagnose the specific cause of the increased jaundice and take targeted treatment measures, further examination is necessary. It is recommended to stop breastfeeding and moderately expose the baby to sunlight. If necessary, medications and phototherapy can be used to help the jaundice fade.
