How to prevent neonatal jaundice?

1. First of all, we need to clarify the cause of neonatal jaundice in order to effectively prevent neonatal jaundice. A common cause is intrauterine infection during the mother's pregnancy. Common viral infections are about cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, rubella virus, etc. Another more common cause is neonatal infection, neonatal sepsis, neonatal pneumonia, etc., which can cause jaundice. Another cause is hemolytic disease, such as ABO hemolysis and RH hemolysis, which generally causes very serious jaundice.

2. General prevention mainly targets the above three common causes. For example, pregnant mothers must pay attention to avoid colds, colds, avoid viral infections, pay attention to adding or removing clothes when the weather changes, strengthen nutrition, and increase physical fitness. After the child is born, you must pay attention to taking care of the child and avoid colds. If the family has a cold, avoid direct contact with the child. If it is to prevent hemolytic disease, it mainly depends on the mother's blood type. Neonatal hemolytic disease mainly occurs when the mother is type O blood and the child is type A or type B blood. RH hemolysis is mainly due to the fact that RH negative mothers may cause hemolysis when giving birth to their second child.
