Soooo my little one still is a little jaundice... Everything I read says it should be cleared up by 2 weeks... Well it's 2.5 and she's still yellow in the eyes :( her skin color is much better, however. I am a breastfeeding momma so maybe that's why ? Any advice? Please help ☹️
@beelynn, when taking her outside you dont have to be in direct sunlight.
My daughter was prescribed vitamin d when she was born because I was breast feeding. It helps keep them from becoming jaundice and will help reverse it as well. Ask your doctor if that's something she'll suggest :)
Yes she eats very well and poops a lot haha :) I will start taking her outside too. Thank you very much everyone
My son's levels were 11 after I was home a few days with him. He had yellow in his eyes as well when I brought him in. Taking him outside and him pooping basically cleared it up. I wouldn't worry.
I was told that if the eyes start to yellow that they need to be taken in. I don't know if that was specific to my situation. Going outside even just 15 minutes will help. Has she been having regular bowel movements still? If so, I wouldn't worry too much.
I gave my son the vitamin d supplements and breastfed it made it go away faster. But it still look some time. I would sit with him near a window with some sunlight that can help too
I'm not .. I didn't know that was an option. Is that safe or do I need to ask my pediatrician? I'm a worried FTM haha @alusardi
Thank you 😌 you're all very helpful
