Worried about jaundice

Hi. My baby has been for phototherapy twice, and till date at 2 weeks old, his jaundice is still at 260. Anyone been through the same? He is poo-ing and pee-ing very well, i give him both bm and formula. So worried as polyclinic said next week do liver test.

You might want to consider store your breast milk first. Doctors will always encourage bm but I put my premmie on formula just to tide through the test period. Dropped from 190 to below 100 in the week. Try to avoid carotene in your food if you still hope to breastfeed. All the best!

You can go to those Chinese medical hall to get a kind of herbs for bathing . Just have to cooked and chill and add in some to the water for bathing . Hope this helps ~
