Yes, in most of the cases babies need treatment. Parents have to admit their children in the NICU.
Phototherapy is a light not sunlight which treats babies by breaking down and removing the extra bilirubin from the baby’s blood stream. In this therapy maximum exposure of light is given to the baby body, and baby eyes were covered with black cover.so that eyes not exposed to the light. In rare cases the jaundice will not go away on its own and it needs treatment and as we know the babies are very delicate so we cannot take a chance with their life and it’s a responsibility of parents to consult a doctor as soon as possible. but in most cases doctors said that you have to feed your child in every 2 hours so that the jaundice will go away on its own. but I am telling you the story of my own kid Devansh, whose jaundice is more than 14 points. so doctor told us if the jaundice will come between 10 -11 then there is no need to admit the child but if the value is more than 12 you have to admit in NICU. After the sampling the jaundice is more than 12 and we have to admit the child for 2 days and they put the baby in blue light. we cannot meet with him until 2 days. But after the treatment they again took a sample and the value again comes more than 11 we are very disappointed but then good news comes and the doctor said you can bring your baby with you .
we are very happy and after that we took care day and night and in every 2 hours I feed him and I put alarms of every 2 hours and finally my baby become a normal again.
