My newborn grandson has bilirubin of 11 from 8 also had cephaluc hematoma. he is a big baby 9'12 and 20 inches. is there any thing to watch for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common lever@ 2-3d: Bilirubin levels of that order are common & unimportant at day 2-3. The cephalhematoma can boost the level & it sounds like they are already watching things.Some kids handle the metabolic work & rid themselves of this temporary buildup & some need photo-therapy lights or other treatments. Monitoring & treatment as needed prevents jaundice from becoming a problem.
