            [0] => Jaundice is a common condition in newborns, characterized by a yellowing of the skin and eyes due to elevated bilirubin levels. At Monadnock Community Hospital, we provide expert care to diagnose and treat jaundice in newborns effectively. Our pediatricians ensure your baby receives the best care to promote a healthy start in life.

Common Symptoms of Jaundice

  • Yellowing of the skin and eyes
  • Poor feeding or difficulty breastfeeding
  • Lethargy or excessive sleepiness
  • Dark urine and pale stools

Effective Treatments for Jaundice

At Monadnock Community Hospital, we offer a range of treatments to manage jaundice. These may include phototherapy, where your baby is placed under special lights that help break down bilirubin in the skin. In more severe cases, we provide advanced treatments and monitor your baby closely to ensure their bilirubin levels decrease to a safe range.

Preventing Jaundice

While some cases of jaundice are unavoidable, there are steps parents can take to reduce the risk. Ensure your baby is feeding well, as frequent feedings help eliminate bilirubin through the baby’s stools. Regular check-ups with our pediatricians can also help detect jaundice early and manage it promptly.

Home Care Tips

  • Ensure your baby is breastfeeding or bottle-feeding regularly. Aim for at least 8-12 feedings a day.
  • Monitor your baby’s symptoms and report any changes to your pediatrician immediately.
  • Expose your baby to natural sunlight for short periods, as this can help reduce bilirubin levels. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight to prevent sunburn.

When to Seek Medical Attention

If your baby shows signs of severe jaundice, such as deep yellow skin or eyes, poor feeding, or lethargy, it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately. Our experienced pediatric team at Monadnock Community Hospital is here to provide the care and support your newborn needs. ) [_page_sections_1_wysiwyg] => Array ( [0] => field_5a79c5dfc5cca ) [page_sections_1_width] => Array ( [0] => normal ) [_page_sections_1_width] => Array ( [0] => field_5af99fbbc9de1 ) [page_sections] => Array ( [0] => a:6:{i:0;s:4:"hero";i:1;s:7:"wysiwyg";i:2;s:7:"wysiwyg";i:3;s:7:"wysiwyg";i:4;s:7:"wysiwyg";i:5;s:9:"post_grid";} ) [_page_sections] => Array ( [0] => field_5a74c7ee071c2 ) [_yoast_wpseo_primary_category] => Array ( [0] => 4 ) [_yoast_wpseo_focuskw] => Array ( [0] => How to help with jaundice at home in newborns ) [_yoast_wpseo_inclusive_language_score] => Array ( [0] => 90 ) [_yoast_wpseo_focuskeywords] => Array ( [0] => [] ) [_yoast_wpseo_keywordsynonyms] => Array ( [0] => [""] ) [_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes] => Array ( [0] => 0 ) [_yoast_wpseo_metadesc] => Array ( [0] => Concerned about jaundice in your newborn?
