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

hi. my baby jaundice was also 300 plus at 2days old. admitted to kkh for double blue light for 2days. he was discharged at level 159 and 3 days later at the polyclinic check her level went up again to 248 @ 7 days old. then 9 days old @ 273, 11 days old @ 238. now she's 153 @ 3 weeks old. she's on ebf. I didn't do anything special other than ebf her. just continue to feed your baby. we have appt again next week and hopefully it's below 100 by then. she gained 900grams since discharged.
