Jaundice Alert!! Part III

OK, so it happened to her as well. It was the same for Kristine when she first came out. we had to send her back to the Hospital for UV treatment. But for her, it was more like, "Should we go or not?" as every visit, the (same) Doctor told us that it was not necessary as she believed that it was Mommy's BF which made the baby turn yellow. So, her advise was to wean her off for two days and gave her formulas instead. And if we got "excited" then we would have to send her in on Sunday.

So, after exposing the baby to the Sun this morning, she was still yellow and my Mum decided to take her to the Hospital (for the third time) and the Doctor said her (blood thingy) went down from borderline to an acceptable level and there is now, no guarantee that the UV treatment would make it better. So, the next visit would be on this coming Tuesday.


Does she look yellow to you?


Well, she does and the whites of her eyes
is yellow

sunshade for her eyes and she woke up........

ME actually if the jaundice is caused by BF, one no need to stop BF and swicth to formula!!!!! just feed more water or diluted glucose.

otherwise another remedy would be gip bb a few teaspoon of BOILED and filtered goat milk. do this a few times a day for a couple of days. hope this worked for u cos it did for us.
