In the early stage, we should feed the newborn as soon as possible, so that the feces can be excreted as soon as possible, because the feces contain a lot of bile flavins. Another point is to give the newborn adequate water. The way to judge whether the newborn's liquid intake is adequate is to look at the newborn's urine. Generally, a normal newborn has 6-8 times of urine a day. If the frequency is insufficient, his liquid intake may not be enough, and too little urine is not conducive to the excretion of bilirubin.
