Jaundice test
Hi mommies, with the current situation do you still send your newborn for the jaundice test at Polyclinic? I feel that our newborn is too fragile n exposed with the frequent visits to the clinic.
I would follow the doctor’s instructions, honestly. Because if the levels are extremely high or increasing, there’s a chance of brain damage to baby or a sign of liver issues respectively. In my case, when the levels were falling, I did “bargain” with the doctor to postpone the next appointment by 1-2 days. Heh. But that was because the levels were falling nicely and the cause of the jaundice was definitely breastmilk jaundice
Read moreYes i did until he is cleared. They actually requested to come everyday but I went 2 days straight n then waited 5 days for the next one (to make sure the jaundice level is down so i don’t have to keep going back). You can skip the queue to enter with a newborn and then go straight to the clinic area to wait.
