Question
After the baby was born, the grandmother often gave the baby walnut peel infusion. Now that the baby is 5 days old and has been hospitalized due to high jaundice, I want to ask if this is related to the walnut peel infusion, and whether the baby should continue to drink it after discharge.
Answer
Babies who are breastfed should not be given any liquid drinks other than vitamin AD or vitamin D, and this applies even if formula milk is prepared according to the recommended concentration. This is unless the child shows symptoms of dehydration such as dry heaves, nausea, or vomiting. For babies with early-onset Breast milk jaundice (breastfeeding jaundice), it is recommended to feed the baby breast milk in small amounts multiple times and to avoid feeding sugar water incorrectly. This can increase breastfeeding frequency, which is beneficial for milk ejection.
