Few ways that work for my baby 1. Go to those traditional medical shop, u tell them you want for baby shower for jaundice one, as we use that for his shower for that period. 2. Sun tan baby for 15mins before 10am sun and after 5.30pm sun. Doc mentioned that to me.. as long as there is sun rays can le.. as my house toilet, there is sun coming in, so I stand there with him just wearing diaper.. 3. Reduce your ginger intake for the time being.. 4. Feed as much as she wan.. this help to flush out as well.. Hope it helps..

Just feed him loads of milk, be it breast milk or formula milk to flush out the Bilirubin compound in his blood which is the substance that causes jaundice. My milk at that point had not come in so I had to use formula but don't stress yourself, jaundice is easy to cure. Remember to wake him every two to three hours for feeds as jaundice babies tend to be more sleepy

what i did was reduce ginger intake and ebm for the time being. more formula for my baby. and suntan slightly from my window for 5mins each morning. its gone after 2nd checkup.

Top up with formula. did that when he was a week/two old and managed to bring down the level. After level is down, im back to full breastfeeding.

The most likely cause is breastmilk jaundice. To bring it down faster, give baby formula milk on top of ebm
