ExpertDr. Pandurang sawantPaediatrician3 years agoA. Every baby develop jaundice after birth
Some baby have more jaundice and some have less
Only 10 % of baby's need treatment called as phototherapy.
In that we keep baby under blue light in hospital only.
Increase in jaundice level to phototherapy range
May be due to some maternal risk factors
Like mother blood group OPositive and baby is not O Positive.or mother is Rh negative and baby is Rh positive.
If mother have thyroid or Diabetics etc.
If baby born before completed 37 wks of gestation or low birth weight or born with normal delivery and have head swelling ie caput, then
There are increase chances of higher jaundice for which we may need phototherapy.
Keep ur baby well hydrated
Continue with exclusive breast feed
Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day.
It will help.
