Question
The baby has jaundice shortly after birth. What should I do?
Answer
Neonates usually experience jaundice. As long as the bilirubin levels are within the normal range, it typically resolves itself within 5-7 days, with the maximum not exceeding 2 weeks. If the baby has poor appetite, consider taking oral probiotics to regulate intestinal flora, stimulate appetite, and promote bilirubin excretion by reducing the enterohepatic circulation, thereby reducing the severity of jaundice.
