Question
My baby is about ten days old, and they’ve had a slight jaundice since the fourth day. It’s the fifth day today, and I notice their eyes and tongue are a bit yellow. Can you tell me what’s going on?
Answer
If your baby has mild jaundice, it’s recommended to try stopping breastfeeding for 3 days. If the jaundice decreases or fades, it may be due to breast milk jaundice. If the jaundice is more severe, you can stop breastfeeding for a week. If you want to take your baby to a regular hospital to see a doctor promptly. These are the suggestions regarding “newborn jaundice issues,” hoping they are helpful to you, and wishing you and your baby good health!
