Really? Hope this helps too! Thank u! :)

Basically is to drink more to flush out the jaundice in body. Breast feeding or formula feed? If breast feeding could be not enough breast milk consumption to flush the jaundice. Most peds will then recommend formula milk feed. Sun tanning shd just do not more than 5 mins.. baby’s skin quite delicate, will get burnt easily. Pls no direct sun tanning.. just near the window shd suffice. Well, this is just advice, can check with peds. Good luck.

Tml flowers. Stop breastmilk for 2 days b4 polyclinic check. Finally cleared.

Feed more! Apparently dehydration might cause prolonged jaundice. If jaundice persist, might need further evaluation. My 2nd born gt cleared for jaundice at abt 2 weeks (polyclinic check) , but we noticed tat his face was still yellowish at 2 months. We raised the issue to pd during developmental check. They referred him to kkh for further check. Turns out.. He was suffering from UTI, which could be one of the causes for prolonged jaundice. So if the home remedy doesn't work, do highlight ur concerns to doc during dev assessment and see what they say. No harm asking to be on safe side
