Most newborn babies will develop jaundice a few days after birth. Before the mother is discharged from the hospital, she must find out to which part of the baby’s body the skin is yellow, and then observe any changes when she gets home. If the yellow is getting more and more yellow, and the yellow parts are getting more and more yellow, there must be a problem, but if the yellow parts slowly fade away, there is no need to worry. Parents need to learn to judge and to learn the correct way to care for their child. The following is the jaundiced baby home care instructions 1, visual inspection of the degree of jaundice baby jaundice to determine the degree of jaundice, parents can be in the natural light, observe the degree of newborn skin yellowing, if only the face yellowing, for mild jaundice; trunk skin yellowing, for moderate jaundice; if the limbs and hands and feet heart also appear yellowing, for severe jaundice. Observe the changes in jaundice carefully. Jaundice starts from the head and recedes from the feet, while the eyes are the first to yellow and the last to recede, so you can start by observing the eyes. If you don’t know how to see, experts suggest that you can press any part of the body, as long as the skin where the pressure is presented white is not relevant, is yellow should be noted. 2, pay attention to the color of the baby’s stool To pay attention to the color of the baby’s stool, if the liver and biliary tract problems, the stool will become white, but not suddenly become white, but more and more light, if coupled with the body suddenly yellow again, you must see a doctor. This is because under normal circumstances, the bilirubin processed by the liver will be excreted from the bile ducts to the intestines, so the stool is colored, but when the bile ducts are atretic, the bilirubin accumulates in the liver and cannot be excreted, then the liver will be damaged, then the baby must undergo surgery within two months to make the bile ducts open or create a new one to improve. 3, observe the baby’s daily life As long as you think the baby looks more and more yellow, spirit and appetite are not good, or body temperature is unstable, drowsy, easy to cry and other conditions, you should go to the hospital for examination. 4, the home light is not too dark After the baby comes home from the hospital, try not to make the home too dark, do not pull the curtains too tightly, the baby is close to the window during the day, the natural light next to the electric light on or off does not matter, there will be no impact. Natural light in any wavelength, light will more or less help. But don’t let your baby get direct sunlight because you’re afraid of sunburn and UV damage. If your baby’s jaundice index exceeds the normal value when you are in the hospital, the hospital will use medication or phototherapy to change the structure of bilirubin into a structure that will not harm the brain and metabolize it. 5.Breastfeeding in order to let the baby go yellow as soon as possible, the mother should breastfeed the baby in order to make the fetal stool expelled as soon as possible. Because the fetal stool contains a lot of bilirubin, if the fetal stool is not excreted, the bilirubin will be reabsorbed into the blood through the newborn’s special liver and intestinal circulation, making the jaundice higher. In case of insufficient breast milk, it is recommended to let the child suckle more because if the child is not provided with enough energy and protein, starvation can affect the ability of liver enzymes to bind bilirubin, leading to an increase in blood bilirubin. By eating and eliminating more, the baby can reduce the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin and block the reabsorption of bilirubin. Why is it not necessary to interrupt breast milk for neonatal jaundice? If you don’t know if your baby is eating enough, you can observe the number of times your baby urinates. If your baby urinates more than 6 times a day and your baby continues to gain weight, you are eating enough. If the jaundice recedes and rises again, there is definitely a problem and you must go to the hospital for a checkup.
