What is the method of yellowing neonatal jaundice

As we all know, jaundice is a relatively common pediatric disease, and the appearance of jaundice is easy to endanger the health of newborns, so we suggest that parents and friends should have more information related to jaundice, parents and friends should not only know the symptoms of jaundice but also need to know how to help newborns to treat jaundice.

Breastfeeding is yellow

Breastfeed as early as possible. Because the sooner you feed your baby, the sooner the meconium will be passed. Meconium contains a lot of bilioflavin, if the meconium is delayed or not clean, biliflavin will be reabsorbed into the blood through the baby's special intestinal and hepatic circulation, making jaundice aggravated, and opening milk as soon as possible can also make the baby get enough calories. In addition, it is also necessary to give the baby enough water to ensure that the baby urins 6~8 times a day, and less water intake and too little urination are not conducive to the excretion of biliflavin.

Basking in the sun fades yellow

There are any wavelengths of natural light, and some of these wavelengths of light can convert bilirubin into other substances that can be hydrolyzed for excretion, so that bilirubin in the body is reduced, so exposure to sunlight can reduce the degree of jaundice to a greater or lesser extent. It is best to let the sun tan the baby's skin, mainly on the back of the head, behind and the small buttocks, it is best to choose before 11 o'clock in the morning, generally about 10~20 minutes. Cover your baby's eyes with a black cloth that is opaque, protect your eyes, keep them warm, and don't sunburn your baby's skin.

"Light therapy" to reduce yellowing

Depending on the degree of jaundice in your baby, you may need to take light therapy in the hospital to reduce yellowing, which is what we usually call "blue light", which needs to be done in the hospital.Put on an eye mask to protect the baby's eyes, wrap a diaper to protect the genitals, and place other parts in the phototherapy equipment to absorb light waves through the skin and act on bilirubin in the blood to promote the excretion of bilirubin to achieve the purpose of yellowing. Blue light is a simple and effective method to reduce serum bilirubin in neonates, which has been used at home and abroad for decades, effective and safe.
