My baby suffered a lot as his jaundice was rised too high. Bilirubin was rised to 20.2 mg/dl on the very second day of his birth i.e., on 11 th of Dec 2008. Doctor says that it was due to some Anti – c antibodies are present in a titer of 1:128 in my blood and also in babys blood. As bilirubin was high a double volume exchange blood transfusion was done and also he was treated with two dose of IV lg in view of immune hemolytic jaundice. Now my baby is fine and I am feeding him every 2 hrs. Still i have doubt that can it happen again in futire? I am still worried about my baby’s health. Can u give any suggestion or any advice for this.
