Question
My baby was 42 days old when we went to the hospital and found that her jaundice levels were slightly high. She took Yinzi Huang oral liquid for 4 days, and she seemed to have become paler. I thought it was mostly gone, so I stopped giving her the medicine, but now I see that she has a bit of yellowish color again. What’s going on? Is it related to breastfeeding? What should I do? Do I need to stop breastfeeding?
Answer
I’m glad to help clarify this for you. The level of jaundice in your baby is not specified. How much weight has your baby gained? I suggest checking the liver function. If the liver function is normal and if your baby is gaining weight well and her stool color is normal, consider breastfeeding jaundice.
