Prolonged newborn jaundice

[sunnysunchild]

DD2 is 15 days old. Weve had a few feeding issues, but seem to be on top of them now. But she is a very sleepy baby, I think she forgets to wake up when shes hungry. Anyway, breast feeding her 3 hourly, and she has had no formula at all. MW has referred her to a paed for prolonged jaundice, I think its getting a bit better eveyday but she is still a bit yellow. Anyone any experience? I have her in daylight, but its pretty dark and dull in scotland.
A bit worried about her :(

My now 7 week old had jaundice until around day 17. Had different community midwives come each time and they all had different opinions on his jaundice. One came on day ten and refused to sign him off because of it she arranged for somebody else to come on day 14 who said it'll soon go don't worry about it! I wouldn't worry but it will do no harm to get further checks

Don't be too worried. Ds had blood tests at 8 weeks because he was still jaundiced, all was/is fine and he's 5 now! Breastfed babies do tend to take longer to get over it.

Congrats!
