What to do if newborns have high jaundice 2 ways to detect jaundice

Taking care of the baby is a very hard thing, and the newborn Huang Heng must be especially careful. Let's take a look at the solution to the high Huang Heng of newborns!

Newborns will have jaundice from 3-5 days after birth, which is a normal phenomenon, and the jaundice index should generally not exceed 15mg dl, which is the normal range and is physiological, parents do not need to be too nervous, but if the jaundice index is high, you can try the following methods.

Drink boiled water Every morning and evening, you must feed your child 30ml of boiled water, and drink an appropriate amount of water during the day, so that your child can get rid of jaundice in his body as soon as possible. If you are breastfeeding, it is fine, but if you are drinking formula, you should add water.

Drink glucose When the newborn jaundice index is high, give the child some glucose water, add glucose to the water, and feed the child to drink, which is an effective way to get rid of jaundice.

Bask in the sun Every morning at about 10 o'clock, when the sun is not very strong, give the child the sun, try to get as much sun as possible to the child's **, but don't get the sun.

Stop breastfeeding If the above methods do not work, then stop breastfeeding for 2-3 days, because the cause of high jaundice may be breast milk, so after stopping breastfeeding, the jaundice index will decrease.

The normal value of jaundice in babies born in full moon is different from that of premature infants. Usually, the normal value of jaundice in full-term newborns is 100 milliliters of mold silver, which means that 100 milliliters of bilirubin in the blood level is less than milligrams. The normal value of jaundice in premature infants is 15 milligrams in 100 milliliters of blood , that is, the level of bilirubin in 100 milliliters of blood is less than 15 milligrams.

When the baby's jaundice value exceeds or the neonatal jaundice index rises too quickly (more than 5 mh dl per day), or the jaundice lasts longer than the term and resolves within 14 days, the premature infant resolves within 4 weeks, or the jaundice resides. It means that the neonatal jaundice is unhealthy and may have pathological jaundice.

Physiological jaundice Usually newborns can be seen with the naked eye after 2 days of birth** a little yellow, reach a peak in 3-5 days, and disappear in 7-10 days, at this time the jaundice index (serum bilirubin value) is generally not more than 15mg dl is within the normal range.

Pathological Jaundice There are many causes of pathological jaundice, and the standards for full-term infants and premature infants are not the same

1) Jaundice is found within 24 hours of birth in newborns, which is "early-onset jaundice".

2) The jaundice index rises too high all of a sudden, increasing by more than 5mg dl a day, which is more common than hemolytic jaundice (the blood group of the mother and baby is incompatible).

3) The jaundice index rises too high, with 15mg dl.

4) The duration is too long, the general physiological jaundice lasts for 7-10 days, if it is more than 2 weeks, you should pay attention.
