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?

Jaundice happens when bilirubin (produced by the normal breakdown of red blood cells) builds up faster than a newborn's liver can break it down and pass it from the body. A liver blood test will allow the doctor to know your baby’s bilirubin level. It is a common condition among newborn and you shouldn’t be too worried. Common treatments include more frequent feedings of breast milk, or phototherapy. Here’s an article on the different types of jaundice: http://kidshealth.org/parent/pregnancy_center/newborn_care/jaundice.html# Do the blood test and wait for the expert advice from the doctors. Take care of yourself too!
