I. Neonatal jaundice and breast milk jaundice Neonatal jaundice is one of the common symptoms in the neonatal period, especially in newborns within one week. Because of the relatively high formation of bilirubin in newborns and the low metabolism and excretion of bilirubin, it occurs in most newborns during a certain period after birth. Neonatal jaundice is a metabolic condition unique to newborns and may only be harmful to the infant if it is high above a certain level. Breastfeeding jaundice appears relatively late, usually around 7 days. It lasts longer, about 3 weeks – 3 or 4 months, and can subside spontaneously. The diagnosis is established when the newborn persists after physiological jaundice or decreases and then worsens, and when the serum bilirubin decreases by 50% 48 hours after stopping breastfeeding. Second, do I need to stop breastfeeding for breast milk jaundice? As long as breast milk jaundice is not serious, no special treatment is usually needed and it will not cause adverse effects on the baby’s health. As long as the baby grows normally, eats normally, and the jaundice does not increase during breastfeeding, you can continue to breastfeed without stopping breastfeeding. Only if the blood serum bilirubin is >14mg/dl (240μmol/L), breastfeeding can be suspended for 3 days, and breastfeeding can be continued after the jaundice subsides. If the bilirubin decreases by ≥50% if breastfeeding again, jaundice may not appear again, and even if it does, it will not reach the original level. During the suspension of breast milk, the mother can use a breast pump to suck out the breast milk and store it to keep the milk fully secreted to provide breastfeeding after the jaundice subsides. Do I need phototherapy for breast milk jaundice? No special treatment is needed in general. Phototherapy is only considered when the serum bilirubin is >17mg/dl (291μmol/L). Fourth, how to care for breast milk jaundice baby at home? 1, pay attention to warmth, care, increase nutrition and prevent infection; 2, after excluding hemolysis and other pathological factors, you can strengthen feeding, so that the baby eat more and pull more, to increase bilirubin excretion through the intestinal tract; 3, appropriate to give the baby more sunshine, so that the sun shines on the baby’s skin, can be separated from the glass sun, should pay attention to avoid direct sunlight on the eyes. Special reminder: glucose has no role in reducing jaundice, do not add to the baby at will.
