Consult online, coz excessive jaundice can be dangerous too. Hone remedy is only sunlight
Vidalyn drops will do nothing in improving jaundice, the cause of jaundice needs to be addressed. For that consult online a few questions and just examination can tell whether it is dangerous or no

1. Blood gp difference of mother and baby.
Normal physiological jaundice bcz of breakdown of maternal blood cells.

Jaundice in newborns is a common condition, especially in the first week of life. Here's an overview for mothers:
What is Jaundice?
Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by high levels of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of old red blood cells.
Causes of Jaundice in Newborns
1. *Physiological Jaundice*: Normal breakdown of red blood cells, which can take some time for the liver to process.
2. *Breastfeeding Jaundice*: Inadequate milk intake or poor latch can lead to dehydration, increasing bilirubin levels.
3. *Blood Group Incompatibility*: Mother's immune system reacts to baby's red blood cells, breaking them down.
4. *Infections*: Bacterial or viral infections can cause jaundice.
5. *Liver or Bile Duct Issues*: Rare conditions affecting the liver or bile ducts.
Symptoms
- Yellowing of skin and eyes
- Pale or dark urine
- Pale or clay-colored stools
- Lethargy or poor feeding
- High-pitched cry
Diagnosis
- Physical examination
- Blood tests to measure bilirubin levels
- Other tests (e.g., liver function, blood type) if necessary
Treatment
1. *Phototherapy*: Exposure to special light to help break down bilirubin.
2. *Exchange Transfusions*: Replacing baby's blood with donor blood to reduce bilirubin levels.
3. *Breastfeeding Support*: Ensuring proper latch and frequent feeding.
4. *Monitoring*: Regular check-ups to track bilirubin levels.
Prevention
1. *Frequent Breastfeeding*: Encourage regular feeding to help remove bilirubin.
2. *Proper Latch*: Ensure a good latch to prevent nipple soreness and promote effective feeding.
3. *Monitor Urine and Stool*: Check for pale or dark colors.
When to Seek Medical Attention
- If jaundice appears within the first 24 hours
- If jaundice worsens or persists beyond 7-10 days
- If baby shows signs of lethargy, poor feeding, or high-pitched cry
- If you have concerns or questions
Remember, it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about your baby's jaundice or overall health.
