Question
What should I do if my newborn’s jaundice hasn’t receded after one month?
Answer
The baby should undergo a blood test to determine if the jaundice is primarily caused by indirect bilirubin. At this point, it is advisable to temporarily stop breastfeeding for three days to observe. If the jaundice significantly improves after three days, it may be due to breastmilk jaundice, and no special treatment is needed. However, if the jaundice remains evident after three days, it is recommended to be hospitalized for further treatment.
