Hi, my newborn (3weeks old) is having neonatal jaundice for 2 weeks. Did a blood test to check the Billirubin level.

2nd Week : 240 mol/L
3rd Week : 140 mol/L

Pediatrician told me there is high chance for the jaundice to rebound again since my wife & I have O - Blood Group.
So I am looking for traditional medicines to continuously keep the billirubin level low for my newborn.

Please advice.

No TCM medication shall be given, you might put your baby at higher risk , trust me. Please ask/request for comprehensive blood check up and newborn screening, includes the blood group screening in details. I’m blood O- while my husband A+ Kidd jka-. My son were born with apgar score 10/10 but with another special blood group. No jaundice the first 24hours, the moment he breastfeeds, His jaundice level increased significantly, so high. Since I’m in private hospital and had my own doctor’s team, we got chance to did intensive blood, immune, gene test and examination. And yes his immune were challenged by one of the components in my breastmilk and most likely it’s the one that caused the jaundice/breastmilk jaundice(it’s a super rare case). We stop the breastmilk and his jaundice went away within 24hours. Get phototherapy and consult your paed always before you give anything towards your baby. I believe you don’t want any regrets in the future if your baby got multiple organs failure/ disorder. I’m an open minded mom who prefer the safest way for my son, so we go for formula. You can try to supplement with formula and see if it’s works, who knows your baby at the same boat with mine. Good luck, pray for your little one. And by the way, yes it’s prolonged neonatal jaundice (neonatal is the term that we used in medical context to refer a newborn baby below 4 weeks/28days). Being parents are not easy, but no matter what, you are the chosen angel From God to taking care and nurture this precious gift. Be strong:)

I think he meant for a traditional way to overcome jaundice.

IMHO Chinese use herbal to bath baby with jaundice and early morning sunrise sun bath (cover bb eyes)

Better follow dr's advice whether your bb Billirubin level require phototherapy
