jaundice

Bf a lot. Jaundice babies tend to sleep most of the time. Wake the baby and bf him/her. Try to bf at every hour. Yes, bye bye sleep for mommies. Do go for checkups to measure the jaundice level. Usually doctor will inform whether the baby is a high risk jaundice, medium or low risk following mommy’s blood type. If you’re blood type O, your baby is high risk jaundice which it is possible the level might hit more than 200 and reach 300 and need to be treated under uv light. 250+ is too high for babies below 10 days of life. Do seek for professional healthcare advice immediately if so.
