Question

Our baby was not normal right after birth, and we are very worried. We went to the hospital for a check-up. How can we remove the newborn jaundice?

Answer

Based on your description, your baby’s jaundice may be caused by breastfeeding. Montmorillonite powder is an intestinal mucosal protective medication and is not recommended for the baby. It is suggested to stop breastfeeding and observe carefully. If the jaundice disappears, you should wean the baby and switch to artificial feeding. The baby should be careful with colds, maintain good indoor air circulation, and getting plenty of sunlight is beneficial for the baby’s healthy growth. When facing the impact of newborn jaundice, we should actively conduct thorough examinations and treatment without avoiding medical consultations. If newborn jaundice does not improve despite treatment, it is important to change the treatment plan promptly.
