Ronleo 6th Gear August 16, 2013 Share August 16, 2013 (edited) Hey pal, firstly congrats!!!! My guess would be tat u are Chinese? Cos Chinese bb more prone to jaundice. 2nd guess is u r 1st time dad? Cos jaundice is very common in bb, esp Chinese bb! Nothing much to worry abt. Btw, u got a nanny to help out? If have, she should be able to advise u if bb condition got too extreme.

TVT Supercharged August 16, 2013 Share August 16, 2013 Congrads! Welcome to the Daddies Club! You can bring your baby to sun tan in the morning for a few mins (but cover the eyes). This method will help to reduce Jaundice. Secondly, jaundice is normal for babies, so do not worry so much! Lastly, your nanny or confinement lady should be experienced enough to advise you what to do, so check with her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanyusoff 2nd Gear August 16, 2013 Share August 16, 2013 From my own experience having a 3weeks premature baby,i bought the yellow flowers from those TCM shops for a few dollars.boil it in water, and then shower the baby with the cool boiled water. within a few days can see noticeably that the yellow colour start to go away. *honestly i don't know it's name but every TCM shops would know what flower it is once you say you want to buy the flowers to bathe the baby who have 'yellow fever'.

Rainman 1st Gear August 16, 2013 Share August 16, 2013 hi guys. my baby girl just born on Sunday. today is her 5th day. Noticed that her jaundice seem to be getting worse instead of better. eyes turning yellow. Is there anything to be worried about? We're sunning her every morning and evening per doc advice. thanks in advance Congrats, it's very common for babies to have jaundice.... just seek doctor's advice, my baby boy had mild jaundice for 2 weeks before it's totally gone. If u believe in a "chinese way", try give her some zhen zhu feng Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony76 1st Gear August 18, 2013 Share August 18, 2013 The maternity lady say its very mild. She says that me and wifey over reacting :( My baby had borderline jaundice when he was born three months back. Only abit on the face so suntan settled it. The PD said it is ok unless the body also yellowish which will warrant hospitalisation for photo therapy.:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siri3030 Neutral Newbie August 18, 2013 Share August 18, 2013 Not to worry about the jaundice in new borns...bring to the hospital where they place the baby under light... Alternatively, let the EARLY MORNING SUN RAYS fall on the baby, do it consecutively for few days..it will be alright... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ckchong8 1st Gear August 18, 2013 Share August 18, 2013 Parents tend to place their baby under the Sun who has jaundice but do remember this, do not over "tan' them or they will be "cook". Babies cannot tell you that they are too "hot" or they have enough, so do it at your own risk. My elder girl was having and i did to bring her to tan her under the sun. However do this b4 10am As the uv were low. Another was beware not to bring her to area with strong wind. My younger boy having slight and didn't Do Anything but only observing gone within a week.

Ckchong8 1st Gear September 4, 2013 Share September 4, 2013 I thought Jaundice is pretty normal with babies? Sunshine a few weeks will become OK? It very high percentage that every baby will get however if it don't go off after a week, doc normally will ask to bring back for review. So it can be small case and big case if it not well taken care. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
