Prolonged Jaundice

My LO jaundice level was 180 on 18 Feb (she was 2 weeks 4 days). We have since fully feeding her FM and stopped feeding BM since I'm eating confinement food. Anyone going through similar experience? How long does it take for the jaundice to go down? Any tips? #advicepls #pleasehelp #firsttimemom #firstbaby

My gal was discharged fr hospital at 141 then 1st visit shoot to 230+. 2nd visit dropped to 210+ two days later. 3rd visit dropped to 170+ one week later. Final visit finally discharged from jaundice at 70+ one week later. Based on experience is keep feed and let Bb pass motion and urine. PD also mention if bf will take longer time to clear jaundice. I’m bf n fm at night n still consume confinment food. Just maybe limit ginger intake if not with persistent feeding shld be fine. Important is to wake Bb up to feed since they r pretty drowsy n sleepy during jaundice period.
