Mention both mother’s and baby’s blood group next time and also current weight and birth weight.
According to NICE UK guidelines his levels don’t even fall in the phototherapy group .
Sunbath although quite popular doesn’t actually do anything to reduce bilirubin , it’s an old wives’ tale .
Next Steps
Timely feeds
Proper burping
Regular stooling
All these will help eliminate the bilirubin from his body .
