Jaundice reduced on 17-05-2023 with total Bilirubin 7.13 with direct Bilirubin 0.96 . Jaundice again presented on 24-05-2023 with total Bilrubin of 16.00 and direct bilrubin of 1.99 . SGOT was 45 and CRP Negative (0.2 mg/ltr) given phototherapy 4 days .

I badly want to breast feed her again. What should I do? Is it necessary to stop feeding her? Please reply 🙏.
As discussed in the video, the level you mentioned is normal in a breastfeeding baby till even 2-3 months, and direct bilirubin is normal now, please go back to full breastfeeding, you might need to express for a days to get output back. Check total and direct bilirubin again after 2 weeks, nothing to worry if stable. This level doesn’t affect the baby. Hope thyroid function was done, if not consider doing
Hello Dr. My baby is 2½ months old Today tested and the results are total bilirubin 4.14 ,direct 1.65 and Indirect 2.49. Should I be worried? Is the levels are ok ? Please reply sir 🙏 Thank you so much 🙏

Hello DR. My baby was born at 37 weeks (on June 9th), and she is currently 35 days old. On day 4, we noticed jaundice for the first time at 17.2. The gynecologist suggested phototherapy in their hospital, but I believe it was ineffective because of a problem with the device. On day 6, the jaundice value increased to 22, so we took the baby to a children's specialist hospital, where the doctor suggested double phototherapy using two devices. On day 7, the values were at 14.4, and on day 8, its was 11.5 so the doctor suggested that the baby be discharged as other diagnoses, such as "Coombs test." was normal. After three days (Day 10), we saw that the eye was yellowish. The value was 19.6, and we were advised to undergo phototherapy for the next 48 hours. On Day 12, the jaundice level was 8.3. On Day 16, we noticed the next re-bound, with values standing at 14.8 and 15.2 after two days (phototherapy was not administered). on day 18 we again started the phototherapy for 48 hours, as of day 20, the jaundice was 9.4. and we had also performed thyroid, TMC, and ultrasound tests, all of which were normal. On the 30th day, the jaundice re-bonded at 15.4 , and the doctor advised stopping the Brest feeding to rule out if that is the source of jaundice. We tested the jaundice on the 34th day, and for the first time without phototherapy, the jaundice is under control at 11.7. Therefore, I have stopped the Brest feeding for a week, and I do not see any high symptoms of jaundice again for next one week (Till today). Would like to know when I can begin Brest feeding and how often we should jaundice test to ensure there is no rebound. I am eager to continue the Brest feeding, so please advise me on the best course of action.
@@SamGangs-n7m as discussed in the video, I don’t suggest to stop breastfeeding even at 15 or so. Start again fully and repeat total and direct after 5-7 days. If stable, repeat again every 2 weeks till normal. Can take another few weeks
@@SridharKs Thank you so much for your kind response I got to know that phototherapy will not be effective for baby's after 30days (Please correct me if I am wrong with my understanding) : If that is the case and jaundice bounce back after we start the feeding : Please let me know if we have an effective treatment to keep in control Thank you!
@@SamGangs-n7m in the same situation as you. My baby went into phototherapy twice and still his jaundice rebounded. He is 40 days old and his value is 13. Did u try stopping breastfeeding and introducing formula? Did it work for u?
Hi Doctor. My baby is 27 days old, he was on phototherapy from day 3 to day 5 and then from day 7-9 and he was off it. Now on day 25 his reading is 250 total (direct 21.4) and he got admitted again but no phototherapy this time. And on day 26 his total is 238 (direct 18.6). His blood results, culture, and thyroid test is all good and no abnormalities found. He is breast fed completely and his diaper count is good and stool is mustard yellow colour. Doesn’t have temperature, but his breathing is on high side. It measures 180 when he is feeding/crying and at rest it is 155. He has some congestion and doctors told to give saline drops before each feed. He was 3.1kg when born and now he is 4.1kg. We are worried about kernicterus. We are now being discharged by nhs and no follow up given. What should we do doctor?. Should I get the levels tested every 2-3 weeks? Thanks. G
Yes, you don't need to worry as it didn't rise to very high levels-kernicterus won't happen below 350-400 at least. It could stay around this level for another few weeks but since all work up is normal I would just repeat after 10-14 days first and then repeat till almost normal (every 2-3 weeks)
Hi doc my baby was born on 23th of september 2023 he was admitted when he was 7days old due to high level of bilirubin and positive for jaundice and done phototheraphy for 3days and his bilirubin level come down now he is 23days old and still has yellowish on his skin I am pure breast feeding shoud I switch him to formula doc? Thankyou in advance
As in the video, continue breastfeeding. But you need to check total and direct bilirubin as well as thyroid function (free T4 and TSH) now to be sure we don’t miss anything
Doctor my baby is one month old..he is taking formula n breast feed... but sometimes he just took 2 ounces after every 3 hours... is it normal...n pls explian how much feed he should take ...
Doctor my baby was having jaundice on 6 th day 22 then he had been given phototherapy for 3 days then it comes 8 again after 5 days it rises to 12 now he is one and half month old doctor gave him udimerin and phenobarbitone for 2 weeks all tests are normal how to know my baby is out of jaundice now without test ...skin is red in colour but when we touch it looks slightly yellow by pointing

I have got others tests also done like Reticulocyte count , DCT, G6 PD, Thyroid profile and urinary test which are all within normal limits. What to do sir in this case please reply?
@@Arif-tb7sf you could just monitor and repeat after 2 weeks. You have done all essential tests, it is likely to reduce soon. No point repeating too soon
@@SridharKs Thanks Sir for your quick reply, it really helps a lot as some paediatrician that I visited recently suggested to stop breastfeeding and give formula milk and I was struggling to give him formula feed which is a very lengthy process from doing sterilization to spoon feeding him.

Hello sir. My baby is 90 days old now. He still has breastmilk jaundice. He has been in phototherapy twice. I stopped breastfeeding for a week and his values decreased from 14 to 9. After i started breastfeeding, the values increase again. Yesterday i checked, his value is 12.3 . Its concluded that breastmilk jaundice but still i got all his tests done CBP, thyroid, LFT, G6PD, all are normal. Now what to do? When will his levels reduce? He's already 3 months old. Pls reply.
What are the last results for direct bilirubin? Is Hb normal? There could be associated Gilbert syndrome which doesn’t affect either. Since all results ok, continue to monitor 2-3 weekly include total direct bilirubin and ensure you did free T4 and TSH as well
Doctor my baby is 1 month old…her eyes is slightly yelllow she did LFT test and is normal , total bilirubin is 11.84 at 1 month. She is feeding well and her stool is yellow please reply me am kind of worried and feeling depressed
My baby is 27 days old but still having jaundice....i have b-ve blood group and she has b+ve...what could be the possible reason of this jaundice...her weight gain is good she was 2.9 and now she is 4 kg....breastfeeding is exclusive
Hope you have done total and direct bilirubin as well as thyroid function (maybe part of newborn screening). If they are normal, don’t worry (as in video)

@@kajalwagh5967 that’s good that direct bilirubin is trending down, I would suggest to continue breastfeeding and repeat one more time after 2 weeks. Monitor stool color (should be yellow or green, not pale)
Hello Doctor, My baby is 44 days old , his skin is little yellow on 17th day we did the LFT test Direct bilirubin was - 0.82 and Total bilirubin - 6.99 now on 43day we test again and found direct bilirubin is - 1.1 and Total is - 6.77. stool and urin is normal, Baby boy weight - 5kg on 43day , active and primarily on breastfeed. Please suggest as the direct bilirubin goes up we are concerned
Was the thyroid level ok, stool is yellow as well? Repeat full liver function and free T4 and TSH after another 2 weeks, nothing to worry at this stage but needs monitoring
Thyroid level were ok during newborn screening test, doctor has not prescribed during the current test, stool is mustard yellow pigmented and urine is also ok (no color)
Hello sir... My baby has breast milk jaundice.. Dr told me to stop feeding for 2 days and then start.... Everything is normal but baby didn't pas stool for 8 days.... Is it normal?? Urine is normal.. Pas gas etc normal.... Plz help
My baby was born at 36 weeks to GDM mom. Mom blood group is B+ and baby's AB negative. Bilirubin was 16.4 on 3rd Day of life. Direct was 1 or less than 1. Predominantly it was unconjugated one. G6PD, Thyroid was all normal and ruled out. Its been 40 days now. Phototherapies would lower it....But after sometime, it again rises gradually, like 1 mg/dl per day. Dr had then stopped breastfeeding for 24 hrs. The level has reduced to now 8. Baby's birth weight was 3.195 g. Dr has called us after 1 week. After 24 hrs breastfeeding cessation, Baby isn't taking it well, and seems to have gas. Cries a lot. Urine is colourless. Stool had stopped for a week .Now it has resumed. It was dark but yellow now. What is the treatment for this breastmilk jaundice, if it is indeed a breastmilk jaundice?
Since bilirubin is only 8 now, and hopefully we have a recent direct bilirubin which is normal (if not, do it as well next week)- you can go back to full breastfeeding and just repeat next week and then every 2-3 weeks till normal
Hi doctor… my baby was born on 21-06-2023. He was detected with jaundice on 23-06-2023 where the level was TSB was 10.6 mg/dl. On 25-06-2023 it was 12.6 and on 27-06-2023 it was 15.4 when we got baby admitted for phototherapy and we got reduced to 10.4. On 29th day we repeated the test and it was 9.7 and doctor asked to repeat in 2 weeks. Baby is completely on breast feed and please suggest us if the numbers are fine or if there is need to introduce formula
Sir Baby born on 29 june 24. On 6 July bilirubin level was 11.8 and sgpt was 56.1. Again on 10 August bilirubin level was 6.50. direct 1.4 and indirect 5.1. Sgot 241 Sgpt 184.2 S alkaline phosphate 480.2 Gamma gt 67.4 Then again we checked lft on 24 August Bilirubin level 7.4 Direct 1.2 Indirect 6.2 Sgot 130.4 Sgpt 104.2 S alkaline phosphate 410.2 Gamma gt 53.6 Dr suggested to stop breastfeeding but it is very problematic for baby. Is the liver numbers are really dangerous. Are they harming baby's liver.
@@adisan9729 there is no indication to stop breastfeeding. The liver enzymes could have increased related to an infection (possibly viral) and is now improving. Direct bilirubin is not increasing. Consider ultrasound abdomen, urine analysis and culture now and thyroid function along with liver function after 10 days or so
Hi Sir! My baby was born in 37 week gestational age on 15th December, 2023. She still has jaundice. Baby's blood group-AB+ve, Mother's blood group-B+ve, Father's blood group-A+ve, TSB-11.39 (direct-1.16)mg/dl, TSH-6.18, Rectic count-4.6, DCT-negative, HB%-8.6gm%, LDH-233, peripheral blood smear-no abnormal cells detected, Iron-92.8, Ferritin-345.5. Can breastmilk jaundice be the cause of high bilirubin with low hb% count but normal iron and Ferrritin level? She is around 7 week age now.
Yes, it’s likely breastmilk jaundice. All babies have physiological anemia at this age and will soon increase on its own so continue to repeat after 2 weeks (retic count increasing means baby is already producing red cells so likely next Hb will be higher). Don’t worry, repeat total, direct bili, TSH and free T4, full blood count in 2 weeks
Hi Sir! Got the latest report today. My baby's bilirubin level (TSB-3.69) has drastically reduced since the breast milk is stopped. The doctor has asked to restart breastfeed. She is about 2 months now. I am scared to give her breast milk now. Can you please suggest?

Hello sir, my baby was born on 13th July 2023 at 37 week gestation. his first bilirubin test was done after discharge on 17th July - 11.8 reading. The follow up test was done on 22nd - 13.2 and the next test was done on 24th - 18.46 . He was admitted at this point for 3 days for phototherapy after which his bilirubin level came down to 6.x and he was discharged. All this time he was always breast fed as I am having enough supply of breast milk. On 3rd august his test was done again as he was again turning yellow. this time the level was 13.6. doctor advised us to admit again and asked us to give him formula milk as he suspected breast milk jaundice. After one night of phototherapy his level came down to 7.8 . Coombs test and ast alt tests all are negative and under control Can you tell me if the recurring jaundice is really due to my breast milk? Do I need to only give him formula milk henceforth?
It is likely breast milk jaundice but nothing to worry, it’s very unlikely to need treatment from this stage, cut off for phototherapy is 22-24 mg%, it will stay in this 13-15 range for a few weeks and drop. Check after 3-4 days and if stable, check every 10 days till below 10 and then once more after a month. Consider urine analysis and culture if rises again

Hi my baby is 9 weeks and his total bilirubin is 95 and direct bilirubin is 6 ,Doctors told us its breast milk jaundice nothing to do and it will go by itself , birth weight is 2.8 and now 4.9 feeding well , poop and pee also normal , we are worried about his bilirubin level , is this okey? can we take 2 nd month immunization to him? Please reply sir.
Hi. My baby is 40 days old. On his 3rd day his bilirubin was 14.2 then he was given phototherapy for 3 days and it reduced to 8. Again on 20th day it was 14.2 then on his 30th day (one month) it was 17.2 so we gave phototherapy and his values reduced and increased to 13.2 now. His LFT, direct and indirect bilirubin, Thyroid, T3, T4, G6PD all the tests are normal. He was born at 38 weeks and 2.5 kg, bow he is 4.2kgs on 40th day. What should be done? How long will it take for jaundice to completely go away?
Was blood count and peripheral smear done? Request that as well as reticulocyte count at the next bilirubin review, including total and direct bilirubin each time. If it rises significantly still, need to evaluate (can stay around the 15 mark but unusual to rise at this age significantly)
@@SridharKs I started formula feeding and since then he hasn't pooped. It's been 2 days and no poop. And he looks more yellow than ever. Is it because the bilirubin isn't getting excreted out? How do I manage? How do I make him poop?

This level of bilirubin doesn’t harm the baby. It is likely to stabilize around this level (even if it rises 1-2 mg after resuming breastfeeding, no problem). Just do one more test around 2 weeks later and can stop if stable. Vaccines are okay now

Hello dr. My baby is 29 days old. She was tested jaundice on 8th of her birth. Her bilirubin was 16.8. We did nothing but gave her sunlight on daily basis and a bit of phototherapy tried myself with white tubelights as doctor said it is not too much and will go away with home treatment also gave dexatop water one ounce daily for three days. Repeated her test after 26th day of her birth and her bilirubin was 13.9. Now drs are asking me to stop breasfeeding her as it could be breasmilk jaundice because of prolonged duration and give her formula milk with colibid drops thrice and protectis drops once daily.

I have seen visible difference in her eyes after I stopped breastfeeding.
I badly want to breast feed her again. What should I do? Is it necessary to stop feeding her?
Please reply 🙏.
As discussed in the video, the level you mentioned is normal in a breastfeeding baby till even 2-3 months, and direct bilirubin is normal now, please go back to full breastfeeding, you might need to express for a days to get output back. Check total and direct bilirubin again after 2 weeks, nothing to worry if stable. This level doesn’t affect the baby. Hope thyroid function was done, if not consider doing

Hello Dr.
My baby is 2½ months old
Today tested and the results are total bilirubin 4.14 ,direct 1.65 and Indirect 2.49.
Should I be worried? Is the levels are ok ?

Hello DR.
My baby was born at 37 weeks (on June 9th), and she is currently 35 days old. On day 4, we noticed jaundice for the first time at 17.2. The gynecologist suggested phototherapy in their hospital, but I believe it was ineffective because of a problem with the device. On day 6, the jaundice value increased to 22, so we took the baby to a children's specialist hospital, where the doctor suggested double phototherapy using two devices. On day 7, the values were at 14.4, and on day 8, its was 11.5 so the doctor suggested that the baby be discharged as other diagnoses, such as "Coombs test." was normal.
After three days (Day 10), we saw that the eye was yellowish. The value was 19.6, and we were advised to undergo phototherapy for the next 48 hours. On Day 12, the jaundice level was 8.3. On Day 16, we noticed the next re-bound, with values standing at 14.8 and 15.2 after two days (phototherapy was not administered). on day 18 we again started the phototherapy for 48 hours, as of day 20, the jaundice was 9.4. and we had also performed thyroid, TMC, and ultrasound tests, all of which were normal.
On the 30th day, the jaundice re-bonded at 15.4 , and the doctor advised stopping the Brest feeding to rule out if that is the source of jaundice. We tested the jaundice on the 34th day, and for the first time without phototherapy, the jaundice is under control at 11.7. Therefore, I have stopped the Brest feeding for a week, and I do not see any high symptoms of jaundice again for next one week (Till today).
Would like to know when I can begin Brest feeding and how often we should jaundice test to ensure there is no rebound. I am eager to continue the Brest feeding, so please advise me on the best course of action.
@@SamGangs-n7m as discussed in the video, I don’t suggest to stop breastfeeding even at 15 or so. Start again fully and repeat total and direct after 5-7 days. If stable, repeat again every 2 weeks till normal. Can take another few weeks
@@SridharKs
Thank you so much for your kind response
I got to know that phototherapy will not be effective for baby's after 30days (Please correct me if I am wrong with my understanding) : If that is the case and jaundice bounce back after we start the feeding : Please let me know if we have an effective treatment to keep in control
Thank you!

Hi Doctor. My baby is 27 days old, he was on phototherapy from day 3 to day 5 and then from day 7-9 and he was off it. Now on day 25 his reading is 250 total (direct 21.4) and he got admitted again but no phototherapy this time. And on day 26 his total is 238 (direct 18.6). His blood results, culture, and thyroid test is all good and no abnormalities found. He is breast fed completely and his diaper count is good and stool is mustard yellow colour. Doesn’t have temperature, but his breathing is on high side. It measures 180 when he is feeding/crying and at rest it is 155. He has some congestion and doctors told to give saline drops before each feed. He was 3.1kg when born and now he is 4.1kg.
We are worried about kernicterus. We are now being discharged by nhs and no follow up given. What should we do doctor?. Should I get the levels tested every 2-3 weeks? Thanks. G
Yes, you don't need to worry as it didn't rise to very high levels-kernicterus won't happen below 350-400 at least. It could stay around this level for another few weeks but since all work up is normal I would just repeat after 10-14 days first and then repeat till almost normal (every 2-3 weeks)

Hi Sir,
My baby is of 45 days now and he has persistent jaundice , below are the results of his jaundice level -
On birth - No jaundice , he is preterm baby with 36 weeks , having IUGR and was born with the weight of 2 kgs
Age 6 Days - conjugated - 0.00, Unconjugated - 11.00
Age 36 days - Direct - 0.59, indirect - 10.32
Age 37 days - Direct - 0.89, indirect - 9.60
Age 44 days - Direct - 0.78, indirect - 12.14
Onn 44 days his total birulbin level increased to 12.92 but he is having no other problem, he is feeding properly, gaining weight and is now 4 kg as of days of 45 days and also passing stool 8-10 times.
I have got others tests also done like Reticulocyte count , DCT, G6 PD, Thyroid profile and urinary test which are all within normal limits.
What to do sir in this case please reply?

Hello sir. My baby is 90 days old now. He still has breastmilk jaundice. He has been in phototherapy twice. I stopped breastfeeding for a week and his values decreased from 14 to 9. After i started breastfeeding, the values increase again. Yesterday i checked, his value is 12.3 . Its concluded that breastmilk jaundice but still i got all his tests done CBP, thyroid, LFT, G6PD, all are normal. Now what to do? When will his levels reduce? He's already 3 months old. Pls reply.

My baby was born at 36 weeks to GDM mom. Mom blood group is B+ and baby's AB negative. Bilirubin was 16.4 on 3rd Day of life. Direct was 1 or less than 1. Predominantly it was unconjugated one. G6PD, Thyroid was all normal and ruled out. Its been 40 days now. Phototherapies would lower it....But after sometime, it again rises gradually, like 1 mg/dl per day. Dr had then stopped breastfeeding for 24 hrs. The level has reduced to now 8. Baby's birth weight was 3.195 g. Dr has called us after 1 week. After 24 hrs breastfeeding cessation, Baby isn't taking it well, and seems to have gas. Cries a lot. Urine is colourless. Stool had stopped for a week .Now it has resumed. It was dark but yellow now. What is the treatment for this breastmilk jaundice, if it is indeed a breastmilk jaundice?
Since bilirubin is only 8 now, and hopefully we have a recent direct bilirubin which is normal (if not, do it as well next week)- you can go back to full breastfeeding and just repeat next week and then every 2-3 weeks till normal

@@adisan9729 there is no indication to stop breastfeeding. The liver enzymes could have increased related to an infection (possibly viral) and is now improving. Direct bilirubin is not increasing.

Hi Sir! My baby was born in 37 week gestational age on 15th December, 2023. She still has jaundice. Baby's blood group-AB+ve, Mother's blood group-B+ve, Father's blood group-A+ve, TSB-11.39 (direct-1.16)mg/dl, TSH-6.18, Rectic count-4.6, DCT-negative, HB%-8.6gm%, LDH-233, peripheral blood smear-no abnormal cells detected, Iron-92.8, Ferritin-345.5. Can breastmilk jaundice be the cause of high bilirubin with low hb% count but normal iron and Ferrritin level? She is around 7 week age now.
Yes, it’s likely breastmilk jaundice. All babies have physiological anemia at this age and will soon increase on its own so continue to repeat after 2 weeks (retic count increasing means baby is already producing red cells so likely next Hb will be higher). Don’t worry, repeat total, direct bili, TSH and free T4, full blood count in 2 weeks
Hi Sir! Got the latest report today. My baby's bilirubin level (TSB-3.69) has drastically reduced since the breast milk is stopped. The doctor has asked to restart breastfeed. She is about 2 months now. I am scared to give her breast milk now. Can you please suggest?

Hello sir, my baby was born on 13th July 2023 at 37 week gestation. his first bilirubin test was done after discharge on 17th July - 11.8 reading. The follow up test was done on 22nd - 13.2 and the next test was done on 24th - 18.46 . He was admitted at this point for 3 days for phototherapy after which his bilirubin level came down to 6.x and he was discharged. All this time he was always breast fed as I am having enough supply of breast milk. On 3rd august his test was done again as he was again turning yellow. this time the level was 13.6. doctor advised us to admit again and asked us to give him formula milk as he suspected breast milk jaundice. After one night of phototherapy his level came down to 7.8 . Coombs test and ast alt tests all are negative and under control
Can you tell me if the recurring jaundice is really due to my breast milk? Do I need to only give him formula milk henceforth?
His weight at birth was 2.7 and on 3rd August it was 3.2.
Also his direct bilirubin test is normal in all the reports and thyroid test done at birth was also normal
Also his direct bilirubin test is normal in all the reports and thyroid test done at birth was also normal
It is likely breast milk jaundice but nothing to worry, it’s very unlikely to need treatment from this stage, cut off for phototherapy is 22-24 mg%, it will stay in this 13-15 range for a few weeks and drop. Check after 3-4 days and if stable, check every 10 days till below 10 and then once more after a month. Consider urine analysis and culture if rises again

This level of bilirubin doesn’t harm the baby. It is likely to stabilize around this level (even if it rises 1-2 mg after resuming breastfeeding, no problem). Just do one more test around 2 weeks later and can stop if stable. Vaccines are okay now

We did nothing but gave her sunlight on daily basis and a bit of phototherapy tried myself with white tubelights as doctor said it is not too much and will go away with home treatment also gave dexatop water one ounce daily for three days. Repeated her test after 26th day of her birth and her bilirubin was 13.9. Now drs are asking me to stop breasfeeding her as it could be breasmilk jaundice because of prolonged duration and give her formula milk with colibid drops thrice and protectis drops once daily. Pls tell me should I stop feeding her completely or I can give her 30% breasmilk and 70% topfeed. Since she also takes top feed but the ratio was opposite before so its difficult to instantly stop breastfeeding her. Also tell me what to do this time?
Thryoid was done at the day of her birth which was normal.
Blood group A+of both mother and baby.
Weight gained 1 kg in one month duration. Pls tell me what to do and what's the possibilities. I am very confused
@@EemanSalman did you check direct bilirubin as well, and is stool color normal? No need to disrupt breastfeeding, no formula needed, but repeat total and direct bilirubin as well as free T4, TSH in a week
Thankyou very much for your reply! It was SBR test. Stool is yellow everytime and passes her stool 5 times a day.
@@EemanSalman ok, do as above
What’s this dextop? Hope not a steroid?

My question is we have given her proper checkup from when jaundice started, UDILIV, LIV52 AND SARBOLINE DOCTOR GIVEN ME MY WIFE ALSO WE HAVE ADMITTED ALSO ON 6 TO7 MONTHS OF PREGNANCY. WHAT JAUNDICE NOT GOING, 1ST QUESTION
2ND ISSUE Age 3day weight 2.3kg
BABY DELIVERED NORMALLY.
BUT HE ALSO GOT JAUNDICE + INFECTION CALLED CMV & Rubella.
He is under light therapy (i dont have enough money but i am doing my best)
Now Doctor giving him

NOW MY QUESTIONS IS SHOULD WE TAKE OUR BABY AND DAILY TAKE HIM INTO SUN LIGHT Will everything fine?
2nd :- Mother also has Jaundice so she can't brestfeed right?
If she can feed that boy will become normal soon.
I tried searching everywhere but i didn't found that both mother and baby has Jaundice at the same time.
I'll pay you if you want (if you can help me without payment that may help me)
what should i do in this situation?
i am very worried and not able to sleep properly in this situation
B positive blood group both
The mother’s problem is most likely cholestasis of pregnancy, did she have itchy skin too? Hopefully will improve now. Baby’s jaundice is not related to that, likely to improve soon, don’t worry. Doctor might have done tests for CMV and Rubella as screening for small size. Doesn’t mean baby has infection. As for treatment, follow your doctor advice Best wishes
@@SridharKs yes mother has itchy skin that time, But Jaundice still there can she brestfeed baby?
baby rubella And CMV report
CMV IgG (Serum CMIA) - Reactive 776.90 Au/ml
Rubella IgG CMIA - Positive 54.50 IU/mL
