Question

The baby was born 5 days ago and is currently being fed a mix of breast milk and formula. The urine color is slightly yellow. Is this a sign of heat?

Answer

Based on your description of the baby’s symptoms, the slightly yellow urine may be caused by neonatal jaundice, indigestion, or heat in the body. It is recommended that you closely observe if the baby also shows signs of jaundice in the eyes and body. If so, it is advisable to take the baby to the doctor immediately. Additionally, it is recommended to give the baby more water to help expel internal heat. It is suggested to temporarily adjust the baby’s diet to breast milk feeding as much as possible and pay attention to keeping the mother’s diet light. At the same time, you can also combine some pediatric massage for the baby to help improve the symptoms. I hope my suggestions will be helpful to you, and I wish your baby grows up healthy.
