Better take ur child to any teaching hospital around u. If this case is severe the child will need full blood transfusion. It happen to my son 2015. Phototherapy light did not work or other medications. It was blood transfusion that saved him. What u r gambling today may turn out a regret for u. It can damaga ur child's brain. The more u delay d more harm it will done on ur child's brain. Be wise

Sorry about that, I will only advice you to be consistent with that early morning sun, because my son too encountered same but only one week + placing him under the early morning sun solved the challenge. Take care

You are a bad example of what a parent should be. Remember, a parent does not necessarily meant a person who gave birth to a child, but someone who take care of a child by providing basic needs of life, including medical and health need.
In this regard, you failed by bringing the health need of your child to a public forum.
Tarry now and take the innocent baby to the nearest registered hospital before I instruct Amadiora to visit you.
Joke apart, take the innocent child to a qualified doctor.
If you don't have money, we will be willing to assist the innocent child. Just make your account digits available.
Cheers

It's not early morning sun. What the doctor said or may be saying is you should place your child under dew, around 5:30am to 6:00am daily.
My mum did it to my little niece when she was diagnosed with same illness and all went well.
Wishing your baby quick recovery.

Your baby needs very urgent medical attention. If at three weeks, jaundice is not decreasing in percentage, it's a critical matter. Forget home remedies at this point. Look for money anyhow and anyway you can to treat your baby in the hospital if money is the constraint. There's a likelihood he will need blood transfusion and intense phototherapic procedure. I beg you, don't jeopardize your child's life and live with eternal regret. He will need lots of breastfeeding also. Take this from a father whose 3 children had jaundice at birth.

Singlelover please take this advice with speed of light. 3 weeks is too long already. My last baby had jaundice too. She started phototherapy when she was 4 days old. Please rush to the hospital immediately

I am moved to contribute my part to make sure your innocent baby does not become incapacitated for something he/she knows nothing about.
I am naturally social media-aversed (I rarely comment, due to personal reasons) , but this is one of the exceptions where I often break my rules. I don't want your baby to suffer the consequence of untreated/maltreated jaundice which include athetoid cerebral palsy, hearing loss, bad vision, and worse off intellectual disabilities.
From the earlier comments, I have read a lot of wonderful counsels from loving fathers and mothers who have witnessed or experienced these before. At this point, I would not condemn any of the advice given, but I would give my honest advice based on my personal experience too then you can decide.
My son was delivered strong, bouncing (5kg) and almost health (I said almost because he too was diagnosed of jaundice immediately after birth in one of the popular private hospitals in Lagos, that was the only health issue). He was immediately placed under Pediatrician care 24/7 (he was being checked twice daily by consultant Pediatrician).
As others said, they were only checking for his bilirubin blood level on a daily basis, it was not supposed to go outside of a certain level and we were told if the level does not become normal after 7 days of treatment, I would need to give him blood (blood transfusion), to make sure the billrubin is controlled otherwise, our baby might suffer the consequence. I was lucky to be surrounded by trained Medical Doctors and Pharmacists in my family and they gave me stern warning not to
discharge the baby against the Pediatrist advice. My wife was on hospital bed recovering from delivery while our baby boy was undergoing phototherapy for jaundice, I was hardly able to control my emotions seeing my son constantly blindfolded and placed under some controlled phototherapy glass cubicle 24/7 for more than 7 days. The only time we remove him is for his mother to breastfeed him and for Pediatrists check and blood tests. I wept daily, not because I could not afford the treatment, or because I can’t donate blood for my son but because I don’t want him to have any health issue, and I wouldn’t want my wife 9month great effort and courage to be in vain.
To make the matters worse, across our room is another jaundice patience who had to undergo blood transfusion, I prayed ours does not get to that, and if it does, that God should make everything to be successful. I summoned courage and was only praying.
Fast forward to 7 days after birth, after the final test, the first Pediatrician checked the final result and they realized the bilrubin level was just around the safe point, about 0. something higher, he said we needed to go for blood transfusion, but gave a caveat that whatever the senior pediatrician says is the final. Later that day, the senior Pediatrician came (a very old man, over 70 years), he checked the result and looked at me, he told me, the result is just around the safe point, but a bit higher, do we go for blood transfusion? I responded with a pounding heart, sir, I will go with your experienced advice, then he paused for around 30 seconds, he wrote some things down in the result sheet , (I feared the worse), then he told the nurse and the other Doctor present there, this is not so bad, I guess we should give it 1 extra day of treatment to decide, an lo and behold, on the 8th day, the bilrubin level became normal, however he still told us to do one day of extra treatment. And so after the 9th day, the result was still the same as it was on the 8th day, just below the normal level. So, he told us from his final check, we are safe to go home, and that we can be placing the boy under early morning sun by the window for 30 minutes and come later for further checks. We went home, did what he told us, and went for additional check after about 2 weeks and our son was declared free.

I intentionally wrote the above long story to let you know of my experience and how God eventually helped us (through the brilliant Doctors). Those 9 days were the longest days I have ever experienced in life.

I have also witnessed those whose child had jaundice and were only treated at home with sunlight and some local concoction.

My strong advice: I supposed your child must have been diagnosed immediately after birth and must have already gotten some treatment before you were discharged. If not, please please and please, take your child to at least any general hospital (please look for the money by any legal means), and get treatment for him, even if he has been treated before.

You should not take chance with "just a home-made treatment" for such a sensitive baby (judging for how long your baby has had it, so you would not regret it later, that is not to say home treatment does not work, like I said, we also applied home treatment after proper medical care. I pray your baby get well soon and you are back here to share your positive experience.

PS: This piece was written in haste due to "the precious life" involved and so there was not time to check syntax and semantics. Peace.

It happened to my son at 3months old. It persisted after placing him under UV light in the children's hospital. LATER a private children's Doctor at Anambra charged me about 60k and all was past tense after his treatment. I owe him alot. Remember it can lead to epilepsy if not treated

for about two weeks now, but fast growing.
My baby started crawling at 1 year and 8 months. Stood up at 2 years and never walked till he was 2 and a half years old. He is three and doesn't speak. He responds poorly to sound, we were told he is deaf. He had jaundice that was poorly managrd. That doctor that adviced you is stupíd! A person that went to medical school and still gives that kind of advice to the mother of a baby with jaundice is nothing short of stupíd. Take your baby to a good hospital NOW for phototherapy or even blood transfusion (whichever is necessary). Two weeks is a long time sister. I hope it is not too late. I am not trying to scare you, but I know what my eyes saw this last 3 years and I don't wish it for my enemy. It was in two weeks or so that my baby ended up with cerebral palsy.

Please take your baby to a good hospital (early)
which hospital!!!! Oga don’t go through what I went through in LUTH for common jaundice . Long story short, I spent fortune on unnecessary expensive test . They were telling about BLOOD TRANSFUSION and I angrily rained hell on the stupid doctors who thought my child would be used for their experiments. When I raise hell , a pharmacist who discovered that my wife was a pharmacist also , cornered her and told us to leave the hospital fast and use unriped paw paw . This was what an old woman told us but we saw it as unrefined and unorthodox , before we went to LUTH. Finally we crawled back to the old woman who was laughing at us as young people who would not listen. The old woman told us to get an unriped paw paw fruit, wash , cut it into bits and soak in clean water. Leave it soaked for like from morning till evening and give the water to the child about 3 small teaspoon as you take the child out for the early morning sun bathing. Just about 48hours with the unriped paw paw remedy, it started clearing. About less than 10 days, it was all gone. Just ask the local old women, they will educate you more . Hospitals over rate it .treating It is nothing

Jaundice is really serious, please take him to a government hospital, they will place him under light and they will observe him/her for awhile. You can go to any FMC close to you. Jaundice is the main cause of Down syndrome in kids. If you don’t treat it early, they will have to drain her blood.

Fact is most babies with jaundice recover without any medical intervention. Your children were just lucky. If you know what fire jaundice can be, you will not even take that chance. Omo indeed!
