My baby is 7 weeks old and still having jaundice 110. The Doctor at the polyclinic referred us back to KK to do a liver blood test. Should I be worried?

Nope. It's actually not an uncommon thing. My son was asked to go and test for jaundice every 2-3 days and subsequent for liver every week. It pained my heart to see him cry everytime he was pricked. But after a while, I stopped going back to KKH for the liver test as it's just to check the enzyme level. He's peeing and pooping fine, so I didn't see what's the reason to draw his blood so often. I only scheduled his blood test after 3 weeks and his results were good enough to be discharged :)

Hi dear I know its been 6 years now but would you mind sharing how long did it take until your son was discharged? And were you referred to hospital even when poly liver test results were negative?
