Question
What is the current condition of your baby? Do you need to be hospitalized?
Answer
Based on the description, your baby is experiencing neonatal jaundice. This is a special physiological condition that almost every newborn goes through. Neonatal jaundice usually appears within two to three days after birth, manifesting as yellowing of the skin and sclerae. It becomes most pronounced around the seventh day and typically resolves within about two weeks. If your baby can breastfeed normally, sleep well, and has no other symptoms, there is usually no need for special treatment. Of course, blue light therapy is also an option if available. Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
