"Sabarlah Adik yer"..petikan kata-kata Kak Anis
What is jaundice?
When babies are born they have a high level of a chemical called bilirubin in their blood. Sometimes it can take a few days for their liver to break this down, resulting in jaundice.
Jaundice affects around 6 in 10 newborn babies in their first few days of life so it really is quite common. If your baby has it, their skin will be a yellowish-green colour or the whites of their eyes will look yellow.
How long does jaundice last?
Your baby’s skin should turn back to a more healthy colour within a few days or after a week. Breast-feeding may also help, due to there being a natural substance in your milk – so if you are feeding this way, feel free to feed on demand!
In a small number of cases, jaundice can indicate a problem with the liver. If your baby is still jaundiced after two weeks, speak to your doctor.
What can you do to treat jaundice?
A mild case of jaundice should disappear on its own without any treatment.
If it continues, your doctor may decide that your baby would benefit from phototherapy – a treatment that involves absorbing light from an ultraviolet lamp, called a bili-lamp, for a couple of days.It’s important to let your doctor know if you notice the signs of jaundice so that they can help keep an eye on your baby’s symptoms, too.
Comment : Oleh kerana Aina pun kuning dan atas nasihat doktor supaya guna cahaya lampu untuk kurangkan kuningnya for 24 hours, so beginilah keadaannya. Zaman sekarang doktor dah bagi bawak balik lampu tu kat rumah, so boleh buat treatment kat rumah ajer..kosnye lebih murah daripada stay kat hospital. Esoknya jaundice Aina dah turun, terima kasihlah Kak Anis yang selalu menenangkan Aina semasa treatment ni..hehe.
