Asking For Other, Female 6, Karachi
my baby girl was born on. 5 June via c section. birth weight was 2.2 kg and apgar was 8/10 this is her jaundice report . Dr aadvices us to repeat the test tomorrow and if value exceeds from 11-12 then she must be admitted in hospital. paediatrician advice needed .
Its not harmful for baby if bilirubin exceeds 15 then admition is necessary at this time u only need to give baby sunexposure atleast 10 to 15 mins per day direct exposure nd lie baby infront of open window for 15 to 20 mins indrect sun exposure nd continue mother feed nd if jaundice becomes deepens means involves whole body nd baby becames reluctant to feed then go to hospital. When u give feed to baby try not lie baby supine but hold baby in your arms for 15 mins ? thnks kindly review my profile nd if u have any other queries tell me
