Jaundice test

Hi mommies, with the current situation do you still send your newborn for the jaundice test at Polyclinic? I feel that our newborn is too fragile n exposed with the frequent visits to the clinic.

I would follow the doctor’s instructions, honestly. Because if the levels are extremely high or increasing, there’s a chance of brain damage to baby or a sign of liver issues respectively. In my case, when the levels were falling, I did “bargain” with the doctor to postpone the next appointment by 1-2 days. Heh. But that was because the levels were falling nicely and the cause of the jaundice was definitely breastmilk jaundice

If tomorrow’s levels are coming down nicely, try bargaining about the next visit. Heh. I use the baby carrier and let baby face me too, so that she’s exposed to less droplets
