Jaundice affected baby

Jaundice is quite common in new born babies. You can notice the yellowing of her skin and colour of the eyes. This is caused by the excess of bilirubin that is presented in blood. Since this bilirubin level is properly monitored by doctors frequently, a baby does not need to be treated in a major way. But sometimes a baby is separated by the mother for its proper examination under phototherapy. In such cases breast feeding or any supplement of fluid is often forbidden. But as a matter of fact, doctors have negated this notion and encourage mother to feed a baby even during the treatment.

However when your baby start spitting every time she is fed, it is important to examine if she has not entered the conditioned of gastroesophageal reflux (GER). This occurs when the opening of the stomach opens at wrong time resulting in thrusting the milk and other fluids back to the throat of a baby. The symptoms may appear as:

• Spitting number of times or on every feeding.
• Projectile vomiting when the fluid is squirted out of mouth.
• Refusal of feeding by baby or pulling away form breast.
• Choking and clogging.
• Problems in swallowing.
• Problem in breathing showing the symptoms of asthma, wheezing and pneumonia.

Some of babies suffering from GER may not need to undergo medical supervision but can be grumpy as they are not able to sleep properly at nights.
