Question
Is it appropriate to frequently feed glucose to a nine-day-old newborn?
Answer
According to the description, it is acceptable to feed glucose in moderation to a newborn at nine days old, but it should not be excessive. Breast milk should be the main source of nutrition, and careful attention should be paid. Chinese herbal medicine, such as Yinzhi Huang oral liquid, can be considered for treatment if necessary. Additionally, jaundice in newborns is a normal phenomenon and can be alleviated by exposing them to more sunlight; there is no need for special care. If the jaundice becomes obvious and severe, medical attention should be sought promptly.
