DS is just over two weeks old. He developed jaundice by the 5 day check and had three days of phototherapy (including triple phototherapy) before being discharged. He still has jaundice and in fact his levels have risen slightly since last week, but blood test aren't showing anything wrong other than high levels of bilirubin.
We have been told to get a referral to the prolonged jaundice clinic if he is still yellow at 2 months. Has anyone else been through this? What was the outcome? I feel I'm going to be anxious about this until his jaundice goes or until we next get tested. FWIW he is exclusively breastfed, exceeded birth weight by 10 days and has plenty of wet and dirty nappies. We have Gilbert's Syndrome on my side of the family and both DH and my DB needed phototherapy at birth, but their jaundice stopped quickly. One other minor detail is that DS had delayed cord clamping and his cord was very very long and thick, so presumably gained quite a lot of blood volume from delayed clamping, which may have made the jaundice worse.
I'm normally reasonably relaxed but I am quite anxious that we are missing something. Any advice or reassurance would be welcomed!
