Question
My newborn has red spots on their body and is vomiting. I’m not sure what’s happening. Does high bilirubin in newborns affect intelligence development?
Answer
Based on your description, your child might be experiencing physiological jaundice, which can often be managed with the administration of artichoke extract granules. Additionally, maintaining good eating habits and a regular sleep schedule, as well as appropriate physical activity, can help improve the situation. Red spots and vomiting on a newborn’s body might be normal phenomena, as the infant’s digestive system is not fully developed yet, and it’s common for them to regurgitate milk after feeding. You can hold the baby upright after feeding and gently pat their back to help expel air from the stomach, reducing the occurrence of regurgitation.
