Question

The baby just turned a month old and is now having difficulty with breastfeeding, tends to fall asleep during naps, cannot burp easily, and often throws up a bit of sticky milk that resembles granules of curd. Additionally, the baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for four days, but the urine is normal. The jaundice level dropped to 5.1 a month ago; will it rise now?

Answer

Based on your description, it seems the baby might be experiencing digestive discomfort due to cold. It is recommended to give the baby some probiotics or probiotic supplements to nourish the intestines. If you are concerned about the jaundice, it is advisable to have the baby checked at a hospital. If the baby is breastfed, it is suggested that the mother consumes light and easily digestible foods recently, avoiding greasy and fatty foods. The baby can be given small amounts of warm water to drink several times a day. These are the suggestions for this issue; I hope they are helpful to you, and wish you and your baby a quick recovery!
