Jaundice in Hospital (Day 2)

Today's Jaundice's level was at 14.4 and it was a good start to have drop a mark of 4.3 for just half a day effort. Which means the choice of letting Sarah to drink formula milk is correct. We have decided to go home 1st while Sarah stays in the hospital for the photo therapy treatment. As she is drinking formula milk, there's nothing much we can do except disturbing the nurses at work. Went back to see Sarah in the afternoon to ensure that everything is okay. The nurse on duty had confirmed that Sarah is drinking well(80ml per feed) and passing out lots of bowel and urine. It's a very good news.

Hopefully the Jaundice level will drop more and she can come back home tomorrow....

I strongly advice all mummies to try to give your babies formula milk when the pediatrician advice that your baby has Jaundice. Somehow it works. Either that, you can give them with alternate feed of breast milk and formula milk. Only when the baby Jaundice level has dropped then you can feed them with direct latching or pump breast milk.
