Challenges in Breastfeeding – Prolong Jaundice

Just now, we went for yet another blood test at the Pediatric Clinic in General Hospital. My 32 days old baby is still with jaundice. His face is still yellowish but he is active and drinks well. I wonder how prolong this jaundice will be. He is the only one among his siblings that pass the 30 days mark and still a yellow baby.

We have tried almost everything that friends and relatives suggested. They are…

1. Feed him with goat’s milk – He refused to swallow.
2. Bathe him in Guinness Stout – One big bottle finished.
3. Chinese Waterchest Nut Juice – Only one time coz my mom said it is too “cold” for baby.
4. Green Grape Juice – still giving the juice from one grape a day but don’t see any difference.
5. Sunbathing him every morning – I think he is getting more tan! :P
6. Let him drink some Pearl Powder – It helps reduce his heat rash!

2 more tips that we have not tried and will not…

1. Bathe him the Yellow Powder – Tried before with my other children; it does not work.
2. Feed him Formula Milk – Mommy’s milk is THE BEST! :P

I really don’t know what is wrong with him. The doctor said he has a healthy liver and some baby just take longer time to recover.

Maybe it is because he is fully on breast milk. But then arh…I am not taking any more heaty food except for the past few days I drank some DOM because I took some “cold” food and drink. My mom said must balance it up. All my other children was on formula milk and breast milk because I was working then.

Oh well, let’s wait for the result this Friday.
