Does my little one look jaundice to you????

Question

I cant tell😩

Answer

Levels were 11.5 which is fine!!

Answer

Have you had her bilirubin tested? Her pediatrician should send you for another test if they don’t feel comfortable with her numbers. 
To “treat” jaundice at home I was told to feed often so she poops more. Uncover her and sit with her in front of a window (filtered light only) for about an hour a day. Not direct sunlight so don’t go outside and do it. You don’t want her sunburning. Best of luck ♥️

Answer

A tiny bit but that’s pretty common in newborns

Answer

Yes, I would talk to baby’s ped. My son had jaundice and we got discharged from the hospital and at his first apt they admitted us back in because his levels weren’t going down fast enough (breastfeeding jaundice) EBF babies sometimes takes longer for jaundice to clear. My son looked like a Malibu baby for almost 6 weeks!

First picture was our first night home, second picture is 11 weeks!

Answer

My baby was and we had to stay an extra day in hospital. Did they check babies levels? Should have done a blood test.

Answer

My baby was tested several times to make sure it was going down after she was born. I was kind of shocked they kept doing it because I really couldn't see it at the time. When I look back at the pictures I'm like WOW.

She was 3 days old in the top pic on Nov 5th, and the bottom pic was closer to Christmas.

She never ended up getting any treatments, thankfully. I just made sure to feed her on demand so she could keep moving it through her system.

Answer

Yes you need to get him tested ! He might need treatment and it can effect the brain if not

Answer

I little bit but it’s SUPER common with newborns. Lots of breastfeeding usually clears it up, they’ll tel you if you should have them in the sun for a minute or two to help the bilirubin break down faster. If they haven’t mentioned anything, they aren’t concerned about it 😊
