My baby is 2 weeks 3 days today. Her jaundice was 187 last Thu and 167 today. I did not stop the confinement food and still have ginger in my food. However I did ask nanny to put less ginger and I don’t eat the ginger even though it’s in the food as I was also worried it may spike my baby’s jaundice level since last Thu 😅. I did try to stop ginger for a few days, but that makes me shiver in the middle of the night as a consequence of night sweat AC. That happened after I stop ginger. Nanny said I 受寒, so I started to resume ginger in my food. I’m also feeding her BM primarily, FM only in the middle of the night. Doctor cleared her from jaundice today. I guess the main thing is to make sure she is fed well and passes motion well as doctor said other than phototherapy, thats the most effective way to clear bilirubin from baby’s body. I did buy the baby herb bath from Eu Yan Sang and wipe her every day though. Perhaps you can also try?
