Question
How to handle recurrence of neonatal jaundice after it has subsided?
Answer
If neonatal jaundice recurs after it has subsided, the first step is to rule out whether it is breast milk jaundice. You can initially stop breastfeeding for three days, and if the jaundice subsides significantly within these three days, it may be breast milk jaundice. Breast milk jaundice usually does not cause significant harm to the baby’s health. It is recommended to monitor the bilirubin index and take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication according to the situation, while also exposing the baby to more sunlight. The above suggestions are for reference only.
