my daughter jaundice just doesnt seem to want to get better and if it doesnt drop by tomorrow shes going to get admitted to the hospital.. im so sad ive tried everything...
my boy was the same way I thought I was doing something wrong cause he hasn't pooped and my doctor also said that he wasnt constipated. I'm also breastfeeding and doing formula just when I thought the doctor was maybe wrong he ended up having a full night of good size poops. your baby is just transitioning from the black tarry looking poopsbto the normal ones and once those start coming it will definitely help with the jaundice but I would definitely try indirect sunlight for a couple minutes every now and then and hopefully you see improvement cause my son improved in a day and looked less yellow.
my month old still has jaundice at level 6.5. his Dr is sending him to a specialist to make sure his liver is working properly. but like the mommy said above me, indirect sunlight is best. take off all baby clothes off...you can take off diaper too. we've been doing 15 mins every hour since my baby has been Home. he is breastfed and formula. he is pooping. baby needs to poop in order for the jaundice to come out. don't lose hope momma. my first born had to be put under the uv lights at the hospitAl for 4 days. everything will be OK. if you need support or someone to talk things through I'm here 💞. prayers for you and baby.
@madison0916, im breast feeding and formula like the doctor said and she doesnt seem to want to poop *shes not constipated doctor checked already * she pees a lot though.. we have started the walk but it doesnt seem to help.. im just at a loss here im very sad and nervous
my son was pretty bad and I went outside for 10 minutes a couple times and he started getting better by the next day
If you have a screen on your front door put the baby in a bouncer in front of the door and let the baby sit there for about 10 mins then give the baby a break for an hour and go for a walk with the baby in a baby carrier for like 5 mins or less it should help my daughter who was 3 days old had it as well but not as bad to be admitted to the hospital oh and nothing but a diaper
