, no one is willing to go to the hospital for nothing. However, what should I do if the jaundice always persists in the newborn baby? Should I observe it at home, or should I go to the hospital for light?
all say that being a mother is not easy, especially now. When it comes to neonatal jaundice, most newborns will have it. Jaundice is divided into physiological and pathological.
Physiological jaundice usually occurs 2 to 3 days after the birth of a newborn, and is most severe at 4 to 5 days. Full-term infants generally resolve within 7 to 10 days, and preterm infants generally resolve within 2 to 4 weeks. Jaundice is generally mild, and the child has no other symptoms.
In the delivery room, most newborns have jaundice. We all say to novice mothers, hurry up and let the children eat more Dora.
causes jaundice in newborns, mainly because the bilirubin in the baby's body cannot be discharged due to various reasons. This bilirubin is mainly removed from the body through stool. If a newborn baby has a late bowel movement, it will appear yellower than those who have an early bowel movement. Therefore, you must let your baby eat more Dora to get bilirubin out of the body as soon as possible.
The manifestation of pathological jaundice is different from the physiology. The baby has jaundice or jaundice develops too quickly within 24 hours after birth, and the daily serum bilirubin rises more than 5mg/dl or >0.5mg/dl per hour; It takes a long time, the newborn is accompanied by anemia, abnormal body temperature, poor feeding, vomiting, and abnormal urine and stool color. These are all pathological jaundice and need to be diagnosed and treated by a doctor.
At home, how do you judge whether a child is pathological or physiological? Here is a little trick. Physiological jaundice, yellowing parts are more common in the trunk, sclera and proximal extremities, usually not over the elbows and knees. Pathological jaundice, in addition to the face and trunk, can also affect the yellowing of the limbs, hands, and feet. The mother can carefully observe the baby's yellowing part and make a comprehensive judgment.
There is also a kind of jaundice that is not easy to go away, which belongs to breast milk jaundice. As the name implies, it is a kind of jaundice caused by breastfeeding newborns. This kind of newborn babies will develop jaundice 4-7 days after birth, and reach a peak at 2-4 weeks. The serum bilirubin can exceed 256.6～342.0μmol/L. The condition is good, with no manifestations of hemolysis or anemia. Jaundice generally lasts for 3 to 4 weeks, and gradually disappears in the second month, and a few can be delayed until 10 weeks before it disappears.
In children with breastfeeding jaundice, if breastfeeding is suspended, the jaundice will be significantly reduced. After breastfeeding is resumed, the jaundice may not reappear, even if it occurs, it will not reach the original level.
Now many people are breastfeeding, leading to the incidence of breast milk jaundice is increasing year by year. After breast milk jaundice, many novice mothers panic and stop breastfeeding. Actually it is not needed. Novice mothers can give their children more sunshine, change the structure of indirect bilirubin, and facilitate the excretion of bilirubin from the urine. Only when the bilirubin level exceeds 15mg/dl, the mother can suspend breastfeeding and observe. If the jaundice drops significantly, it is determined to be breastmilk jaundice, and breastfeeding is possible. When breastfeeding, give your child a little less every time and eat more often.
Don't let your child take formula milk powder and take medicine to turn yellow. There is no risk if the neonatal jaundice index is not higher than 14, especially for infants who are exclusively breastfed. The jaundice can last for 2-3 months. Breastfeeding can be continued. There is no need to suspend breast milk or take special treatment, and it will not affect the vaccination. .
