Usually when the baby is in the hospital, if the jaundice index falls within the range of physiological jaundice and no light is needed, the baby can be discharged with the mother. Under normal circumstances, the baby’s weight will return to the birth weight after 7 to 10 days. If the mother finds that the baby’s weight continues to drop and the body has a tendency to become more and more yellow, the baby should be sent to the hospital for observation. As long as the jaundice exceeds the range of physiological jaundice, it is pathological jaundice, so it is very important to observe the baby after discharge from the hospital. First of all, before the mother is discharged from the hospital, she must first understand which part of her baby’s skin is yellow, and then observe any changes when she gets home. The following are instructions for the home care of jaundiced children: 1, 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 pale, if coupled with the body suddenly yellow again, it must be brought to the doctor to see. 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. 2, observe the baby’s daily life As long as you feel that the baby looks more and more yellow, the spirit and appetite are not good, or the body temperature is unstable, drowsy, easy to cry and other conditions, you should go to the hospital for examination. 3, carefully observe the changes in jaundice Jaundice is yellow from the head and begins to recede from the feet, while the eyes are the earliest yellow and the latest to recede, so you can start by observing the eyes. If you do not know how to see, experts suggest that you can press any part of the body, as long as the pressed skin at the presentation of white does not matter, is yellow should be noted. 4, the home light is not too dark after the baby home from the hospital, try not to make the home too dark, curtains are not pulled too tight, the baby close to the window in the daytime natural light, electric lights on or off does not matter, there will be no impact. If your baby’s jaundice index exceeds 15 mg/dL while in the hospital, the hospital will shine light so that the bilirubin will change its structure due to the photochemical reaction and become a structure that does not harm the brain and is metabolized (a fixed wavelength is required to be effective). The reason for continuing to use natural light after returning home is that natural light is available at any wavelength, and the light will more or less help. And too dark at home on the baby absorption of vitamin D has an impact, but do not let the baby directly to the sun, afraid of sunburn, but also afraid of UV damage.
