Treatmeant for Jaundice

Extra feedings
Taking in more breast milk or formula will help your baby poop more often, which can help clear out bilirubin from the body. Or, if your baby is having trouble breastfeeding, your doctor may recommend you feed him breast milk from a bottle or also feed him formula.

Phototherapy

In this treatment, the doctor puts your baby under blue-green lights. It can help bilirubin leave his body in his urine. He'll wear a diaper only so that most of his skin can soak up the light. He'll wear patches to protect his eyes. The light may come from a special pad or mattress that puts out blue-green light.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) 

If your baby's jaundice happens because he has a different type from his mom, your doctor may need to give him a blood protein through an IV that helps stop the breakdown of red blood cells.

Exchange transfusion

If your baby has severe jaundice that isn't getting better with other methods, he may need a blood transfusion called an exchange transfusion. In this process, your doctor draws small amounts of your baby's blood and replaces it with blood from a donor.
