Slightly Jaundiced

[lillysmum]

So Lucas is slighty jaundiced - midwife says she's happy that its not too bad and he's feeding well, back to gaining weight so he shouldn't need any further tests or anything.

maddi was when she was newborn, we just made sure she drunk lots and it seemed to wash through her x

Sunlight is really really great for clearing it up. find the sunniest window in your house. Strip that baby down, make sure the room is warm, and chill out on a blanket for a while, do both her front and her back, and it will clear up soon.

glad he wont need any further tests hun ps i love the name lucas

yea we had this problem aswell. Lots of fluid and sunlight helps. They told me they wouldn't do any more tests aswell but if she still had it after 14 days we'd have to attend jaundice clinic, i presume that might be the same for you. MW did say most babies are clear by then though as was my daughter so hope Lucas is too x

Ally had his own little sunbed (uv light) and had to be tubefed as a result of breastfeeding jaundice! We were told to put him by a window for all his naps when we got home. You won't realise how yellow he is now until you see photos! Ally looked like he'd been tangoed!
