A. Hello dear parent! Without proper physical examination it is not possible to conclude anything. Get your baby personally examined by your doctor and seek further advice. Clarify all your concerns and follow your doctor’s advice diligently. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration.

Q. My baby is 17 days old and is having jaundice. His jaundice was recognised after 3rd day of birth and at that time his bilirubin was 16 so we got him to a Nicu for a day. He was discharged when his bilirubin was 8 and after 5 days we again got him tested and his bilirubin was13.8 and again after 4 days his bilirubin is now at 15.4 . I am really concern with this increasing trend of bilirubin factor. Would need some advice as what should we do !! We are trying to expose him to the sunlight but due to rainy weather the sunlight is also not there .. Please suggest what should we do !!
