Aww i'm Sowwyyyy the abandonment wasn't intentional at all. I'll try to show face on Thursday God help me.
If you're still around, will show you his pic

My baby niece is down with jaundice, she's been very sleepy ever since they returned from the hospital hardly opening her eyes. I curiously(I've read about sleepiness a symptom of jaundice) raised her eyelid and was shocked to see the whites of her eyes all turned yellow we rushed her to the hospital last night and she's currently receiving phototherapy.

Seeing her little body under that light is so heart breaking her parents are so distraught.

Mamas that have had jaundiced babies please is there any thing else we can do other than wait, watch and pray? Any suggestions will be welcomed thanks.

Dear Jesus heal heal this baby. Each time I hear jaundice, I feel bitter because of my experience with it. I'll still share it someday.
Jaundice can be mild but very fatal if not handled properly. The bitter truth is that most hospitals in Nigeria only do trial and error with the treatment because the light they use is not good enough, so ordinary sunlight is better than them.
Please, they shouldn't leave the monitoring of the jaundice only for the hospital. They should ask questions and demand to see the result after each test.
She may need to stop breastfeeding for now until after the jaundice has cleared.
I used to have all these tables used to monitor the level. You can check google for that. But the bad thing is that one baby may not have issues with say level 10 but that level may be fatal for another baby. And the weight of a baby matters too.
For treatment of jaundice is Lagos, I recommend island maternity because they have the best for the treatment.
I don't know how serious it is but the parents can ask the hospital to do another test in another lab for second opinion.

The levels was at 13 yesterday and still hasn't come down today yet! The hospital is a "tuush" hospital(Gold Cross at bourdillon)but tuush no mean expertise o! Their body language no give me confidence at all

She is doing ebf but I've suggested to her to give formula so as to enable the girl put on weight faster(she came 3.2 ) but weighs 3kg now plus she hasn't poopoo in four days and I learnt that also helps in eliminating the jaundice. Do you think she should stop the breastfeeding? She sucks a lot but I dunno if she's getting enough milk out.

Chineke nna m. 13 and the weight is 3kg. My dear, have they done transfusion yet? How many days old is she? I wish you can respond quickly and take the baby to island maternity unless that result is not real Abeg.
I baby was 4kg at birth and his jaundice was discovered 2 days after he was born. He is 8 now and has some challenges.
A lot of our doctors don't know much about this jaundice. We don't have good equipment for the treatment. Abroad they have different ways to quickly bring down d level like special blankets and all but we don't have it here.

I don't know when I clicked submit. She need to stop breastfeeding for now. I heard it increases it in some babies.
The hospital I used is also tussed and I live in ikoyi too. Most of these doctors feel jaundice is nothing and can easily be managed forgetting that there will always be 1%. Why will they allow someone's baby to be the in d 1% that may develop issues. After my son's case, my hospital now do transfusion for babies that their level is upto 10 to avoid such stories.
If you are not comfortable with their attitude, please change the hospital today. Island maternity is not too far from there. They give jaundice d serious treatment it requires. A lot of these mistakes can be avoided. One of you can go to island maternity first to be sure that there's space for the baby there and then get a referral immediately.
Please, I'm not saying that the case may be fatal. I'm only writing out of passion to see that the child gets better. I do not wish my enemy what I went through with my baby.
If anything goes wrong, that hospital will claim it is inevitable and say sorry. After all the baby was under light even if it didn't help.
I mentioned island maternity because our audiologist works there and I know they have some specialist from USA that comes there to review their equipments and also keep record of there treatments. They also do hearing assessment for the babies after their treatment. Jaundice is evil please act fast.
I'm seriously praying for the little one that God will show himself strong in her life and It won't go higher than this. No matter the level it gets to, he will protect her under his banner and no harm will befall her. She will grow stronger and fulfill her destiny in Jesus name, Amen.

If the eye is yellowish, take her to the hospital and see a paediatrician. It may be nothing but it's better she gets tested at the hospital. That's the only way to know the cause of the yellowish color.
I'll only be worried if she gives a weak cry or irks and wriggle like she's in pain while lying on her back.

Thanks once again and I appreciate your input. she is only 6 days old! her doctor wants to watch her for another 12 hours before going to the next step. They told her to express breast milk so as to reduce the number of time baby spends outside the light therapy and not to introduce formula yet as her system may not be able to process it in her state( the jaundice is not the one aggravated by BM).

We are keeping our fingers crossed and hoping for the best. If no improvement by then we will surely try island mat.

They didn't say but my sisters mil says her family are very prone to jaundice so it could be from her father's blood , thanks.

#PrayerMonday#
Our dear father we thank you for your goodness and mercies upon our lives and that of our family members. We thank you for the gift of life. We thank you for those who have delivered their babies. We thank you for those whom you have blessed with fruits of the womb. We thank you for bringing us into another week of celebration. For all these and many more that you have done for us, we say may your name be exalted in Jesus name, Amen.

Lord we confess all our sins and ask that you forgive us all and give us the grace to sin no more in Jesus name, Amen.

Dear father we commit our lives unto your care and we pray that you will uphold us. None of us shall die before our time. We will not suffer any loss, shame, sorrow or defeat. For those who have delivered we pray that their joy will not be cut short. You will guide them and provide for them all they need to take care of their needs. For those still pregnant we pray that you will strengthen them and make them carry to term and deliver successfully without any complications. For our ATC mothers, we pray dear Lord that their books of remembrance be opened so that they will conceive and deliver their own babies. Lord we will rejoice with them soon. For those that have suffered one loss or the other Father give them double for their losses.

We commit our dear husbands into your able hands. Father bless their going out and coming in and bless the work of their hands. Give them wisdom to make the right decisions that will not affect us and help us to be good help mates for them. We blind the eyes of every strange woman from where our husbands are in Jesus name, Amen.

Dear father we commit our places of work and our businesses into your mighty hands and we pray that the blessings and favour of God shall follow us in Jesus name, Amen. For those facing any challenge be it financial, marital, health, or any other we may not know; we pray Lord that you will work your miracle in their lives and give them victory in Jesus name, Amen.

Thank you dear father for we ask all these and believe strongly that you have answered them in Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen.

It's ok. My major concern is the weight of the baby. I'm not a medical doctor and I may sound paranoid because of my experience with it but I feel that waiting for 12 hours is not very ideal. One hour is enough for jaundice to cause brain damage.
Unless the doctor has a medical reason for holding on with transfusion, I think he should have started d process by now.
I pray for her speedy recovery.

My daughter's own was 11 when i had her cos my hospital takes sample of newborns to check for jaundice.
i was told to take her home and expose her to sunlight and bring her back on the 3rd day . i did and by 3rd day it reduced to 10 and gradually it weaned off. i fed her well with formula also so that she could poo often cos d more they wee and poo, d lesser d effect of jaundice.
you can try that ma. give her formula like thrice a day, she shd still continue breastmilk. i dont think there's a need for transfusion yet except if the result doesnt go down. it is well with her in Jesus name
