What to do if your baby has jaundice Breast milk jaundice regulation method
Let the baby's meconium pass as soon as possible
In the early stage, we should feed the newborn as soon as possible, so that the meconium can be excreted as soon as possible, because the meconium contains a lot of bilioflavin, because if the meconium is not cleared, the bileflavin will be reabsorbed into the blood through the special liver and intestinal circulation of the newborn, causing jaundice to increase. How do you know if the meconium is clear? The main thing is to see that the meconium changes from black meconium to yellow meconium, that is, the meconium is clean.
Give your newborn plenty of fluids
The way to judge whether the newborn's fluid intake is sufficient is to look at the newborn's urine, generally normal newborns urinate 6-8 times a day, if the frequency is insufficient, it is possible that his fluid intake is not enough, and too little urine is not conducive to the excretion of biliofavin. We should ensure the fluid intake of newborns, and the meconium of newborns should be passed in 2-3 days, so as to reduce the degree of jaundice.
Pay attention
Pay attention to observation: the systemic symptoms of fetal yellow infants, whether there are symptoms such as malaise, drowsiness, difficulty in sucking breastfeeding, anxiety, direct vision, stiffness of limbs or convulsions, etc., so as to detect and deal with severe children as soon as possible. Closely observe changes in heart rate, heart sounds, anemia and liver size to prevent and treat heart failure at an early stage.
Pay attention to cleanliness
Keep your baby's skin, umbilicus and buttocks clean to prevent breakage and infection. When exchange transfusion therapy is required, the air in the ward should be disinfected in time, blood and various medicines and articles should be prepared, and the operating procedures should be strictly followed.
Pediatric jaundice: Babies have breast milk jaundice, and mothers should do the same
In order to give your baby the necessary nutrients, you can breastfeed a small amount of milk several times, continue to breastfeed when it is light, and stop breastfeeding and switch to other formulas when it is heavy.
Generally speaking, with the increase of age, jaundice can gradually subside, and there is not much impact on the baby's growth and development, so there is no need to worry too much.
If your baby's jaundice does not lessen or worsens after stopping breastfeeding, you should go to the hospital for further testing.
Breastfeeding, moms should pay attention to these
During pregnancy, mothers should pay attention to dietary hygiene, avoid alcohol and hot food, and do not abuse drugs.
After the baby is born, the mother should also continue to pay attention to the healthy diet, closely observe the baby's skin jaundice, so as to diagnose and treat it in time, and pay attention to the premature appearance or late resolution or the gradual deepening or recurrence of jaundice.
