3. Newborn Home Remedies

What about jaundice that occurs in newborns? Newborn jaundice is very common and often cannot be prevented. Only 1 in 20 babies born with this condition require medical treatment. When treatment is required, doctors may recommend phototherapy with fiber optic blankets.

A baby's yellowing is caused because the body's system for removing bilirubin compounds is not fully developed. This is usually not a serious condition and will resolve on its own within a few weeks. However, if you have any concerns, try consulting a doctor. Parents or caregivers may be able to employ some of the following strategies to help reduce jaundice:

• Start breastfeeding as soon as possible, especially in the first few hours of the baby's life

• Provide breastmilk and focus on the amount and duration of feedings

• Keep the baby awake during feeds

• Avoid using supplements

Yellow eyes are a sign that something is wrong with your body, it could be a mild problem, but it could also be something more serious. Therefore, the first treatment should be obtained from a doctor. If severe or untreated, this condition can lead to complications such as tissue damage or organ failure.

Then, home remedies can help. These include changing your diet to a better and more nutritious one (more vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes), drinking enough water, exercising regularly, and staying away from alcohol, cigarettes or tobacco. If it happens to your little one, then try to keep stimulating them to want to breastfeed. Ladies, have you ever tried these tips?
