What to do if your newborn baby has jaundice

For newborn babies with jaundice, the following measures can be used to deal with the situation: First, test the bilirubin level of the baby regularly. If the bilirubin level does not exceed the upper limit of the normal range, you can increase the amount of breastfeeding for your baby without medication. The jaundice will subside easily because the stools will increase when the infant is fed enough milk. Secondly, the baby should be treated with blue light irradiation. If the jaundice is pathological jaundice or hemolytic jaundice, blue light irradiation can be applied to reduce the unconjugated bilirubin in the baby’s body. Finally, the infant can be treated with blood exchange in a timely manner. If the effect of blue light irradiation is not particularly good, the infant’s jaundice increases progressively, and the mental state is also relatively poor, in this case, we should carry out blood exchange treatment in time.
