Question
What Should You Do If Your Baby’s Jaundice Isn’t Gone After 26 Days?
Answer
Your baby is currently hospitalized and in good spirits, eating and sleeping well. The liver and gallbladder ultrasound showed no abnormalities, but the cranial and brain ultrasound indicated changes. Immediate jaundice treatment is necessary to prevent potential brain damage. The high jaundice level does not fall under the category of breast milk jaundice but is physiological jaundice. It usually resolves on its own within 7-15 days, with some cases possibly taking about a month. Pay attention to feeding methods and techniques while breastfeeding to avoid overfeeding and subsequent indigestion, which may affect the jaundice’s resolution.
