Jaundiced still?

Question

My baby boy is 7 weeks today and had quite a battle with Jaundice (breastmilk not physiological) after he was born. He seemed to be getting a little bit better every day but I feel like this last week he’s either stalled or even gotten a little bit worse, I definitely still really see it in his forehead. Anyone else still dealing with this?

Answer

My boy is 9 weeks old and I brought it up with the pediatrician about 2 weeks ago when I took him in. I didn’t really see it in his skin, but the edges of his eyes were still yellow. She said it was normal for it to take awhile to go away completely, but that if I felt that it was getting worse to bring him in. So, I would say that if you feel that its worse, definitely get it checked out.

Answer

Yes, my son is 6 weeks and still has a yellow tint but it is SLOWLY getting better. They say it is very very rare for the bilirubin levels to go back up once they go down, however, if you think it’s worse call the ped straight away.
