How to avoid jaundice in newborn babies during pregnancy?
My sisters baby had jaundice right after birth and stayed under that light for few days, it stressed everyone. Im 7 months now and a bit worried mine might too. Is there anything i can do from now to lower the chance?
Get ur blood group and rh factor checked properly, thats the useful part during pregnancy. Rest is managed after birth by the pediatrician. Always go by ur doctor for this na.
My doctor said newborn jaundice is actually quite common and mostly mild, not really preventable by diet. What helps is ur blood group checks and good antenatal care during pregnancy. They monitor and treat it easily after birth if needed.
My baby had mild jaundice and honestly I felt guilty thinking I did something wrong. The doctor said its normal and just gave phototherapy for 2 days. Feeding well after birth helps clear it faster.
Dont scare urself beta, mild jaundice in newborns is super common and treatable. Just do all ur pregnancy checkups and the rh blood test. The doctors handle it well after delivery.
