Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The baby has mild jaundice.
What is the blood group of the baby, and that of the other ?
Phototherapy is required next - keeping the machine below a machine that gives out photo rays, generally this mild jaundice resolves within a few days.
Was it a normal delivery or caeasarean section >
Why are you giving the baby glucose water ???
If the baby is not taking mothers milk, formula milk powder can be given to the baby.
For mothers milk, it is better to take Satavarex granules with milk.
Manual milk expression after hot water massage of the breasts should be done.
Lots of liquid and nutritious food like green leafy vegetables , fruits should be taken by the mother.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
