While physiological jaundice is common in newborns, understanding how to manage it can make all the difference in your baby's early days. While exposing the baby to indirect sunlight for 20-30 mins a might help a bit, the most important way to reduce physiological NB jaundice is to FEED, FEED, FEED THE BABY!
Frequent and effective breastfeeding ensures your baby:
✨ Gets the colostrum (their first antibody) and nutrients they need
✨ Stays hydrated and flush the bilirubin through bowel movements
✨ Establishes good breast milk supply for the mother
Ensuring good latch and feeding the baby on demand is very important and if you tide past the 72-hour mark your milk starts transitioning faster, and your baby starts peeing and pooping well, reducing the chance of jaundice levels increasing.
However, many new moms struggle with breastfeeding in those crucial first days because they don't quite understand how roller coaster of a ride breastfeeding can be!
This is where preparation matters!! Attending a breastfeeding class before baby is born gives you the confidence to handle any breastfeeding trouble that may come your way with confidence and clarity.
When you know what to expect and how to feed effectively right from Day 1, you're setting yourself AND your baby up for success!
