Question
My daughter is 35 days old and her face still looks a bit yellow. Is this considered persistent jaundice? She is completely breastfed and her stool is yellow, is this normal? What should I do? Our medical conditions are not very good, are there any good methods?
Answer
Hello! It’s recommended to first go to the hospital to check the nature of the jaundice, whether it’s breastmilk jaundice or hepatobiliary jaundice. If it’s breastmilk jaundice, you can drink more milk during this period to prevent breastmilk reflux. If it’s caused by liver and gallbladder issues, then timely treatment is needed. The condition has both physiological and pathological aspects. According to the current measurement of bilirubin, the increase in total bilirubin is not significant, and there is no need for blue light therapy.
