As always, Dr. Paul has such a great bedside manner with his patients and their parents. I truly hope this precious baby boy will emerge from this totally healed from the jaundice and protected from other illnesses as he grows up. If I were one of his parents, I would definitely feel like my baby was in good hands.
I was so excited to see this. I have G6PD deficiency. Some others in my family had babies born perfectly healthy, had very high jaundice, now have KERNICTERUS. Permanently severely brain damaged, since blood brain barrier doesn't work for newborns the jaundice lays on the brain and destroys it. Parents go home from the hospital so quickly they don't even know or understand that the child is jaundiced a day or two later. The parents say they cannot even look at the pictures of their perfectly healthy babies at birth. They have PTSD from this nightmare. Sadly some parents were told by doctors that it wasn't very serious. Until it was.
Linda, i am so sorry you had to suffer these. My son also has g6pd deficiency, he is 3 years old, he needed a blood transfusion last year. Please, may i know if you ever had blood transfusion? Thank you very much!
My son was "breastfed jaundice" as his pediatrician called it. I guess his liver wasn't able to filter my breastmilk. He was doing phototherapy for a few days but as his bilirubin levels kept raising they suggested switching him to formula. After formula feeding for a few days his bilirubin levels finally lowered and all was well. He's now 6 and the best kid 🥰
How high did the bilirubin number get to before it came down? How is your baby’s developmental milestone now? I’m sorry for so many questions. I have someone in same situation at the moment.
Love the baby holding videos they are my favourites to watch on this channel as he provides comfort to them while explaining the situation and cures too. Wish we had these types of videos here in the UK 🇬🇧 as where I live the health care is awful and the wait times for referrals are even longer it’s easier to book my horse or dog into the vets for a check up than it is for me or my family to get a doctors appointment
Oh Too too much informative video.. because my 2nd baby had serious jaundice. That time i was too much worried.. now my baby 3months old. Thanks to Allah save him.. nd also ur video give me courage.. u r really great men.
Our first had jaundice. They kept her in the hospital and put her under the lights. She hated the eye covers!! Our next pregnancy we took a supplement, (I don't remember which one) and he didn't get it! Thank you Dr. Paul for this info. I will encourage new parents to go in for checkups!!
My 37.5 week baby wasn’t fed properly in the NICU. They interfered with breastfeeding, and he went home jaundiced at 5 days. Once home he started passing his meconium - the stool he should have passed in the first few hours of life if fed properly. The jaundice resolved quickly. Basically he was reabsorbing bilirubin that was supposed to be passed in the first stool.
True story. My baby was born perfectly healthy. Then the docs said she had jaundice. They wanted to put her under some artificial light. I researched jaundice and natural ways. My daughter was a few days old. It said take her in the sunlight. That afternoon, we went on a stroller walk. I let the sunshine hit my newborn babys skin. She slept mostly during the walk. Boom, few days later, jaundice gone, as reported by dr.
I wish I could have a baby... Maybe one day if god will allow me to find a Dr that knows what he's doing & know what meds to give to make a woman ovulate🙏🏻
Just a FYI in case you are not aware, AAP released updated hyperbili guidelines in August 2022 with treatment thresholds that are now based on gestational age and neurotoxicity risk factors! As of today, Bilitool does not use the new guidelines in its recommendations yet.
Thank God that this baby got jaundiced in the hospital. The problem is parents go home within 24 hours and are not told what to look for, then jaundice starts the next day. Especially if the child is dark-skinned. 10% African Americans have a mild form of G6PD, but other dark skinned, like southern Europeans and middle easterners have the severe type, like me, can't see the color difference. Can you talk more about what the other signs are? As you know and as some women on the kernicterus groups say, they had no idea their poor baby had high bilirubin once they got home. They usually rush to ER because baby is extremely lethargic, it's only then they realize a problem, and it's too late.
I was wondering that Tylenol was safe during pregnancy and it can affect the liver. Jaundice is caused by the liver. Wonder if there is any correlation?
This was realy educational. I wanted to learn becouse I know that I had a very high number when I was born, I beleve even the highest that hospital has ever seen and has ever seen to this day.
My second born developed breast milk jaundice, where my milk was causing jaundice. The paediatrician said I should carry on breastfeeding anyway. My son had heel pricks ever 3 days for what felt like months.
I’m a first time mom, he’s currently 6 days old. I had a rough pregnancy and developed preeclampsia making him a newborn. The day we were discharged they were a little iffy and made us go back to the clinic to get his blood drawn. It ended up being at 19 and we had to go back to have him under the light. We stayed there for two days and were discharged yesterday. We had to recheck him at the clinic again and it came out at 15. I was planning on putting him in the sun but it was so cloudy. Hopefully the sun is out tomorrow.🥲
Apparently I and my siblings all had jaundice upon birth, I’m unsure if it’s because we were premature or not, idk how long we had I just know we did as my dad had mentioned after seeing us watching a tv show we were jaundice babies upon birth, obviously we are fine now but my poor parents must’ve been pretty worried at the time
We took baby girl outside every single day for 15 minute increments in sunlight. Was at a 6.2 within 2 weeks.. it was over 20.. doctor had no room for us. Had to leave after 24 hours...
Doctor paul... If a baby present with a high level of bilirubin 30 on late age (1 mo 1 week).. Preterm 36 weeker... Admitted 2 days to NICU.. No jaundice at first few days... At one month presented with apnea, hypoactivity... Decreased feeding... Sepsis workup was negative... And his bilirubin started to rise after hospital admission at 1 mo 1 week age up to 30... Direct about 2... So mostly indirect hyperbilirubinemia... Medical team decided to do exchange transfusion... My question what do you think the cause is? And does kernicterus happen in on 5-6 weeks old... Or is the blood brain barrier mature at this age?
My pediatrician missed it in my child and I-caught it and Doc was persistent I was wrong and I caught it with the yellow eyes,did the sun shine therapy and all good
He said it resolves using light and heavy feeds to flush it out. If that doesn't help, they do light treatment. Doctor checks babies number with a poke in the heal.
@@kossy2855 poke in the heal is not necessary. My baby had jaundice when he was born, after 2 weeks it went away thankfully to me continuously feeding him. They also use a jaundice machine to check the level, they usually do it around babies chest, without any pokes and bleeding. It looks like sort of a ‘scanner’
@@annapolek4351 I wasn't saying I know how to resolve jaundice. I was just repeating what the Doctor mentioned in his video. Glad you are able to provide additional info, I hade no idea. Fortunately, I have never had to deal with it. 😊
@@kossy2855 I understand ☺️ my son had a poke in his heal just for the blood spot check, they did it once for jaundice after 2 weeks discovery just to make sure it was gone as he was no longer yellow and there was no reading on the scanner. Luckily his levels were very low and we did not have to go through the UV light treatment. He is now 8 months, healthy and happy little boy ☺️
I found out that my sis and husband are planning in mabey 5 or 6 mths to try to have a baby so this is really stuff i wanna watch and guess what I have to go by aunt LaLa because parents have my first name as their last Kelley
Random question, is this not the same as Gilbert’s Syndrome?? Just was wondering why it’s not a problem for adults/children. I have it lol so was just intrigued. Love your stuff!
Our child was 17 days old when we found out he has jaundice....dr. tested him and it was 14....its been 40 days and his billubrin is still 7....I don't know what to do....I am really worried...dr. has given some medicine and told us to exposure of sun light....But i am still worried...is my child's brain is functioning well...is 7 billubrin can harm his brain? Pls tell me...
@@jannetteroman4305 well my baby is doing fine now... 1 year old....It typically goes away within 3 months.... don't panic...give him his medicines and regular morning sunlight... He'll be fine ...☺️
I had a mate who turned yellow one morning. We'd been living off rice and ketchup, i'd been there for a week but he'd done it for months. The doctors were quite impressed with his level of malnutrition. We got rank 1 with our world of warcraft 2v2 team during this lifestyle. I do not recommend this level of pro gamer.
My son was diagnosticated last year with g6od deficiency. Unfortunately, he needed a blood transfusion. I still wonder if they should have offered iv fluids and phototherapy first :(

@@Kel_serje Yeah, I just did.
May God bless this precious baby.

Dear Dr. Paul, I missed your videos. Glad to see you practising again 🥰
I like how mom & dad are relaxing in the room

What was your Baby billirubin value coz i m going through this tough time of my Baby having high billirubin. May Allah protect us
I can’t believe you are still doing stuff I started watching you 6 years ago I loved your wart freezing videos

What was the supplement?
Curious too

Thanks I actually didn’t know about jaundice only that they need to have light. Thanks for an informative video and such a cute baby!

He is the baby whisperer
My oldest had jaundice at birth but the bilirubin levels weren't to high and I was successfully breastfeeding and the jaundice went away after 8 days.
Another great video. Another beautiful baby. I love this channel.
A beautiful little Angel 😍 I can’t wait to have my first one ❤

Thank you doc for making us at ease.
Thanks so much for the explanation!!! I always wondered about that!
We love you Dr.Paul!💜💕💙🥰
So cute I love new babies
Great Clinical talk..Dr Paul thank you.
I had no idea it can stain the brain and cause permanent brain damage! Is this also the same when someone has a liver problem?
What a cute baby!

Doc, have you seen a rise in number of babies with jaundice problems? There’s a theory that delayed cord clamping may cause too high levels. Thoughts?
Dr Paul, is there an updated schedule for the vaccine plan?
Updated book?
Thanks!
Its okay some babies have it anyway I think its completely normal!
Ohh God help me daughter heal she is going through the same

where have you been?
Does sun exposure not help?
How can someone contact you privately
My daughter was born with biliary atresia. I always advocate high bilirubin too long after birth.
Hiiii I hope you are doing well
Hey, could you talk more about this? Like, is sunlight at home enough, or do we always need that photo-machine thing? How do I find my babies' number?

Can a breastfeeding mother have meat during jaundice?
