What to do if your baby has high bile content

Newborn babies will have some jaundice, which is a normal phenomenon. Under normal circumstances, the jaundice will disappear on its own one or two weeks after the baby is born. Some babies have severe jaundice that does not subside for several months, so parents should pay attention. In fact, if the baby's jaundice is properly treated, it will disappear on its own. The specific methods are as follows.

1. By category:

There are several important types of neonatal jaundice: hemolytic jaundice (the doctor will usually do corresponding examinations before the baby is born and will inform you in advance), infectious jaundice (caused by viruses), obstructive jaundice (caused by congenital malformations, very rare), and breast milk jaundice (the condition will recover a lot after stopping breastfeeding, very rare). Physiological jaundice (the vast majority). This article mainly talks about the treatment recommendations for physiological jaundice! In other cases, you must seek medical attention!

2. Observe diligently:

If you experience the following symptoms, please go to a women's and children's hospital for treatment immediately! The skin is severely yellow, there is a loss of appetite (no appetite), the urine is yellow (the diaper is directly stained yellow), and there is no energy (crying or crying softly and without strength)! Jaundice usually begins to appear 2-3 days after birth, is most obvious on the 4th to 5th day, and then gradually weakens. It basically disappeared completely in half a month!

Feed water frequently: Newborns have physiological jaundice, so feed them more water, but not too much water each time. It can be fed several times. It is recommended to feed them every 2 hours or so, about 20 ml each time. Boiled water is best! Drinking more water can increase the frequency of urination, which can speed up the elimination of jaundice!

3. Get plenty of sun:

Be careful not to expose your eyes to the sun. I usually cover your eyes with a cotton scarf, or hold your baby sideways facing the sun, or let your baby lie on his side under the gentle sun! Note that the best time to sunbathe is 9:00-9:30 in the morning and 4:00-4:30 in the afternoon, each time for 20 minutes. The sun during this period is relatively mild and will not harm your baby's skin! (In fact, this principle is ultraviolet light)

4. Feed frequently:

Try to breastfeed as much as possible. Currently, no milk powder can match the composition of breast milk. Breast milk is the best partner for babies and can enhance their immunity. Regular and sufficient breastfeeding can enhance their physical fitness and vitality! The baby's healthy physique will help the baby recover from jaundice as soon as possible!

5. Get enough sleep:

This is mainly to provide the baby with a quiet and comfortable environment to help the baby fall asleep peacefully. Generally, when the baby is just born, there are many people visiting, and many relatives and friends will hug the baby, which will affect the baby's rest! It can easily cause the baby to be irritable and is not conducive to the baby's recovery of physical strength! It is best for the mother to sleep with the baby when the baby is just born. This can increase the baby's sense of security and help the baby sleep better!
