Any newborn with G6PD deficiency and struggling with high risk jaundice? What do I do?

I'm feeding expressed bm. We have been struggling for over 2 weeks now with the highest at Day 6 at 325 (treated with double blue therapy at KKH) and then it went down to 190 but now went up to 239. We have tried everything traditional (kayu sepang, tcm flower, air kundur, morn sun) and KKH's blue therapy but the readings are not improving. I'm really worried. Some ppl have been blaming my bm as they ran out of causes. #1stimemom #advicepls

Sis I got this petua from my grandaunt and it works for all my kids when they were babies. Buy asam keping, cut in small pieces then boil until the water turns brown. Then bath your baby with the water (mix with warm water from the shower/tap) then clean with clean water. Make sure to rendam your baby for a bit. Your baby's jaundice will spike for 1-2 days then it will immediately go down, Insha Allah. Try this. Also, sun tan your baby for about 10 mins daily. I always do this before I shower my babies. Flowers from the sinseh does not work at all for my kids.
