Parents need to know the common sense of nursing neonatal jaundice.

What do you know about neonatal jaundice? In recent years, we have found that many newborn children will have jaundice in the first few days, but many young parents are inexperienced and don't know how to take care of such children. Maternal and child experts pointed out that parents need to know the common sense of nursing newborn jaundice. 1. Pay attention to the color of the baby's stool. If there is something wrong with the liver and biliary tract, the stool will turn white, but it will not suddenly turn white, but it will become thinner and thinner. If you suddenly turn yellow again, be sure to see a doctor. This is because under normal circumstances, bilirubin after liver treatment will be excreted from bile duct to intestine, and feces will be colored. However, when the biliary tract is blocked and bilirubin cannot be discharged from the liver, it will cause liver damage. At this time, the baby must undergo surgery within two months to make the biliary tract unobstructed or create a new biliary tract to improve.

2. Observe the baby's daily life. As long as you feel that your baby's face is getting yellow, his spirit and appetite are not good, or his body temperature is unstable, he is sleepy and prone to screaming and crying, you should go to the hospital for examination.

3. Carefully observe the change of jaundice. Jaundice begins to yellow and recede from the feet, while the eyes are the earliest to yellow and the latest to retreat. You can observe from the eyes first. If you don't know how to look at it, experts suggest that you can press any part of your body, as long as the pressed skin is white. If it is yellow, you should pay attention.

4. Don't be too dark at home. After the baby comes home from the hospital, try not to make the house too dark and don't pull the curtains too tightly. During the day, the baby is close to the natural light next to the window. It doesn't matter whether you turn on the light or not, it won't make any difference. If the baby's jaundice index exceeds 15mg/dL in the hospital, the hospital will illuminate, so that bilirubin will change its structure due to photochemical reaction, and it will be metabolized without damaging the brain structure (it needs a fixed wavelength to be effective). The reason why you continue to use natural light after you go home is what wavelength natural light has, and it will help more or less. Moreover, it is too dark at home, which affects the baby's absorption of vitamin D, but don't let the baby directly bask in the sun, for fear of sunburn and the damage caused by ultraviolet rays.

5. If it is proved that breast-feeding is jaundice caused by insufficient feeding, mother must feed food frequently, because milk secretion is a normal physiological reaction. Diligence will stimulate the secretion of milk hormones, and the more milk is secreted. Don't think that the baby is not full or because of persistent jaundice, it will add water or sugar water.
