Question
A pregnant woman at 30 weeks is worried her baby might develop neonatal jaundice. She wants to know if there are specific dietary or lifestyle habits that can help prevent this condition during pregnancy.
Answer
To prevent neonatal jaundice during pregnancy, it is recommended that pregnant mothers pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid overeating, and reduce the intake of stimulating food such as cold, spicy, seafood, greasy, and allergenic foods. Increasing the intake of plain water helps promote the excretion of toxins in the body. At the same time, smoking and drinking should be avoided, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, engage in moderate exercise, and ensure adequate sleep. These healthy lifestyle habits are crucial for preventing neonatal jaundice.
