and so?

most jaundice clear on its own by that time.

take it or leave it.

Try having a baby, 7th day, went photo treatment...21 days later readmitted. Full breastmilk. Stopped on day 21-30. Continue after that. No more Jaundice. That's my son. He's 8 now. If you suspect Jaundice from breastmilk, no harm stopping a few days. My son was on bmilk all the way till 2.

Ok. Some say  eating ginger cause jaundice....  LoL.  That is more absurd...

yes absurd indeed.
studies were done and found no correlation.

My bAby same. Slimey dun believe I also cannot help him.

Readmitted for Jaundice. Imagine how heartbroken we were.

Readmitted for Jaundice. Imagine how heartbroken we were.

day 21 is prolonged jaundice.

no reason to readmit to hospital. kk should be able to carry out investigation.

readmitted for what?

day 21 don't even require phototherapy.

I know. Skin dry up. Under hot light. Very sad thing to do to your baby.
Why investigate when you can solve by phototeraphy? Sometimes just use shortcut. No need investigate here and there. 

I will be very sad if you're my son's paedi.

why phototheraphy for prolonged jaundice?
no point.

better to investigate cause of jaundice. if rule out all the cause then it is just harmless breast milk jaundice.

For parent, breast milk jaundice is still bad news. Anything above 200 of bilirubin still bad for health even through its caused by breast milk.

Hey guys, my baby's bilirubin reading just hit an all time high of 262 (prolonged jaundice btw). So, the KK gave me a referral letter to go to the hospital for further actions to be taken. So i went to Putrajaya hosp on the same day, hoping to get phototherapy for my baby, and to my horror, the nurse at the pediatric counter told me that she would give me a scheduled consultation for next wednesday! After being stunned a little, i asked her can it wait that long?! She replied that my baby is only 17 days old and they only look after babies who are 21 days and/or older. WTF?!

What should i do? i'm considering going to a private hospital now as i worry if i wait for wednesday it'll be too late and the bilirubin levels might increase some more. Any suggestions? should i wait? So worried!

Any1 know where to rent legal phototherapy machine to use at home/confinement center in penang and what is the cost tq
