Question
My baby was born on the 17th and tested with a bilirubin level of 15.7 on the 21st. How is the bilirubin level?
Answer
Hello! I too am a mother of a one-year-old. My little one drinks milk five times a day, with three servings of 210 milliliters each, and the other two (during the day) are supposed to be 180 milliliters according to the standard, which should be three times a day, each at 245 milliliters. However, she can’t finish them, and there’s also waste. In addition to formula milk, we have been adding complementary foods like rice, noodles, and some soup to her diet every day. Generally, we add these foods before giving her the formula milk at bedtime. This situation has been ongoing since she was eight months old, and there have been no adverse effects. The baby’s stool is basically once a day, almost normal. (Please note that based on the provided information, I am unable to determine if the bilirubin level is normal. Please consult a doctor for a professional diagnosis.)
