Actually the only thing you can do is to Just keep giving him milk to drink every 3 hrs even if he’s sleeping. Other than that only phototherapy will work. Doctors say sunlight doesn’t help but I did expose both babies to morning sunlight (before 10am) for my own peace of mind. My mum used a Chinese herb called ‘inkirrab’ or smth (idk how to spell) and wrapped it in a small towel and put beside them as it is said to reduce jaundice. I also bought the special herbal bath for jaundice to bathe my baby. Doesn’t help significantly but at least we tried for our own peace of mind. For my first baby after he underwent 2 days of phototherapy his jaundice dropped. Then no need to get pricked anymore. For my second baby she also had jaundice but did not need phototherapy. However we had to keep going back to polyclinic every 2 days for the first week then she subsequently once or twice for the second-forth week until her lvl dropped below 100.

Thank you...
