Doesn't any body reply my post ? Some one pls help !!!!!!!!!

Sometimes babies are a little jaundice when they are born. I've heard that it is usually nothing to worry about. If the Dr. Said to wait then i'm sure it will be fine.

I was just searching online and there is a lot of info. Most seems to say it isn't anything to worry about. Is his skin yellowish or just his eyes?

Hi,

thanks

it's only his eyes. Slightly yellow

thanks

From what I read, that is very common- like 50 - 80 % of newborns have some form of yellowing.

Here's what I read, it seems like you should be fine unless it continues too much longer---


overview

in the first few days of life, more than half of all full-term babies and as many as 80 percent of premature infants who are otherwise healthy develop jaundice, a yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes. Although some babies are jaundiced at birth, most develop the condition during the second or third day of life. That's why you may not notice it until after your baby is home.

Jaundice itself isn't a disease. In most cases it occurs because your baby's liver isn't mature enough to metabolize a molecule called bilirubin, which normally forms when the body recycles old or damaged red blood cells.

Jaundice usually isn't a cause for alarm. It doesn't cause discomfort for your baby and most often disappears on its own in one to two weeks. Still, it should be closely monitored by your baby's doctor because severe jaundice can lead to serious complications. Phototherapy, a treatment using special ultraviolet lights, can help keep your baby's blood level of bilirubin from becoming too high.

Thanks badsal

No problem. Let me know what happens.

my baby developed jaundice she had taken phototherapy treatment at 2 weaks now she is 8 weaks still her eyes and face is yellow, what should i do

wait the 2 to 4 weeks I'm sure the doctor's right

My baby's skin was yellow for over a year and a lot of people thought he had jaundice, but after getting the blood tests, we found he was just fine.

Give it time.

My son's eyes are yellow too, what's wrong with him?
