coconut water isit really helpful for jaundice? i heard we must drink coconut water few weeks before delivery...

For Malay..we drink coconut water a month before delivery believing to be good for ur baby skin.
I also drink goat milk a month before delivery since my MIL says good to prevent jaundice.

But both cant b consume during confinement since coconut water is dangerous for ur wound & goat milk is too hot for ur baby (if BF) will cause rashes n so on..

But i practice it & my boy..healthier day by day

how bout ginseng?

Not sure about jaundice. I took the coconut water before delivery because people say that it is easier to deliver

How long before ya? A week before EDD or earlier?

i can't guarantee that drinking coconut water helps jaundice but my newborn baby have mild jaundice and i drank coconut water from 3rd trimester onwards..once a week, must choose the young coconut and it's better if open on the spot n drink it, more fresh.

most Asian BBs tend to get jaundice thus try to breastfeed BB as often as you can to reduce the jaundice level.

Coconut water is good for both baby and mother because pregnant lady's And baby body tend to Be hotty. Only drink during the last 2-3months : ))

My water drank alot but still my baby has jaundice and stay two nights in ICU. But jaundice is a small matter : ))

Ginseng drinks usually quiet hot rite..?

Depends la..must ask the elder..they can clarify more

unproven.......it's just another granny's tale

My wife drink once only 2 weeks before delivery.I don't think it help jaundice if drink coconut. It help to reduce heat for preggy woman, beside u can try to consume a lot water too..

my mil asking me to drink coconut water too during my pregnancy but i didnt do it.
and my daughter dont have jaudice too

I drank since from my 8week pregnancy. Twice a week.. Due to my friend & family keep mumbling around then I drank once a week. Until now, im in 7month pregnancy.. I still continuing once a week but sometimes twice if I eat too much heaty stuff.

I heard ppl said coconut water is good to drink during pregnancy... But I don't know whether it is help on jaundice.

I start to drink coconut water on a weekly basis when entering the 3rd trimester, and my baby still have mild jaundice. I do not think this is proven. But coconut water do help to cool down my body during that period.

maybe can mix with milk?do you ask docter bout this?btw how old yur son

My son is 4 month old now
Soo far no sickness..nothing..thanx God.
But mayb because he's fully BF.

My wife gynae don't recommend to have ginseng during pregnancy as he say there is a study that it's bad for the foetus, so ended up didn't drink ginseng at all

I haf to agree to this. I drank loads of coconut during the last trimester of my pregnancy with my two babies, but still both got slight jaundice. It's more likely to reduce body heat rather than preventing jaundice.

the best way to avoid jaundice is to try to keep from eating and drinking processed food during pregnancy. take loads of plain water... preferrably filtered...

coconut water is very healthy but it is not an instant cure so you have to use it with other medications to make both effects more effective
