Question
The baby is 35 days old and developed jaundice three days after stopping breastfeeding. The transcutaneous bilirubin test result was 9.5, and the face has already turned pale, but the skin still appears slightly yellow. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may have developed jaundice after stopping breastfeeding. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid the worsening of the condition. Observe the baby’s skin color under natural light, and if there are still signs of jaundice, it should be sent to the hospital immediately. Try to expose the baby to sunlight and supplement calcium, wishing the baby a healthy recovery. At the same time, the mother should also pay attention to observing any changes in the baby’s symptoms and take the child to the hospital for treatment promptly.
