Dr.Mona. I have been going through the hardest week of my life. My baby girl is 7 days old today and I’m blood type O and her dad is A. She is Coombs +, She had to get readmitted to the hospital to continue Light therapy. I was discharged today per the hospital she should be fine now. Her billirubin was 11.9 this morning before being discharged. I am hopeless what is your opinion on this. I have a pediatrician appointment tomorrow and I am so scared.

Hi doctor, my wife is 5 months pregnant and our local clinic gave her durobac tablets and we only found out now that durobac should not be used by pregnant women. Can it lead to jaundice and what are the early signs

@carriecampbell9927 2 years ago

I had to stop breast milk all together. Once I stopped it took about a week for it to disappear. She also picked up her weight. We were two points from having to go back to the hospital for another light therapy treatment. I was told to supplement feed and increase feeding while in the hospital when she was born. The jaundice It got worst! My pedi told me to stop breast milk and put her in light for 30 mins a day and give vitamin d drops in breast milk if I did use it. She is now healthy after a week. My girl was so bad her eyes were so yellow and she was loosing so much weight. I had jaundice when I was a baby and sunlight worked for me. Many drs and hospitals don’t support it anymore because they want you to use the equipment.
