Effective way of making jaundice go away!

Hi Everyone,

Just want to share an effective way of making jaundice go away for our babies.

My gal is 7 weeks and had to go through photo therapy on her 2nd week as her levels go beyond 300... He level final came down after the 2nd day of photo therapy.. However, she remain to be quite yellow even at 7 weeks bec she is a fully breastfeed baby.

Thankfully, a friend shared with me that I can go to chinese medical shop and buy this yellow flower (jing ying hua), boil it in water, and then shower the baby with the cool boiled water. The medical shop person told us to divide the portion into 4x and shower my gal for 4 days with the cool boiled water containing the flower. And indeed, after 4 washes, my gal became less yellow! Quite amazing.. don't know how it works..

If only I knew earilier than I don't have to hospitalize my gal for photo therapy. The flower is definately cheaper than hospital stay! And also, I know that some docs would advice mom to stop breastfeeding their babies bec of jaundice. I can finally eat some of the food that apparently "might" cause jaundice! :)

Hopefully this tip will be of help to all moms out here...

Blessings,
Janice

Our baby had jaundice as a newborn. Taking him out into the open during the day (but not under direct sunlight) helped reduce his bilirubin level, even though the sun's UV rays are of a different wavelength from those used in phototherapy.

my girl had jaundice too when she was born. she nearly need to undergo the light therapy too but the nurse advise me to keep breastfeeding her as often as possible. so she drinks alot n pee alot and the jaundice level will drop according to the nurse and true enough it dropped n save her the light therapy.. phew..

my mummy says that eating too much food with carotene causes jaundice, but i dont see this as cause of jaundice in those articles i read online.. so wonder if it is true?

meanwhile i read that mummies of blood type O tend to cause jaundice in their babies (born of another blood type), as antibodies of mummy causes brdakdown of red blood cells in baby... :err:

The yellowish skin tone caused by beta- carotene is different from that caused by bilirubin in jaundice. Two unrelated conditions.

Did this method works for your gal? Why ur mother in law refuse to let ur baby go for photo therapy, it can be dangerous if the levels are high..

Hi,

I just used a medium size pot and filled it up with water and boil the flowers.
Just a quick boil.

I can't rem how much I pay for the flowers already.
But it's not very cheap from my mom.

Put her near the window in the morning or end of the afternoon day light. But not directly in the sun light.

Beside jin yin hua, i also have another effective way i.e to bath with small bitterground diluted water. Buy bitterground from market , cut it and boil it, filter it and mixed with tap water . u can bath the baby for a few days and jaundice shall be disappear before bb goes for his first check up.
