Many newborn babies may experience jaundice, but with the passage of time and appropriate treatment, this condition can improve. However, what should be done if the baby's skin also turns yellow after one year old?
1. Check if it is due to jaundice
Generally speaking, babies born after the age of one are unlikely to experience physiological jaundice again. Therefore, if a baby is born with jaundice and their face turns yellow by the age of one, further examination is necessary. If jaundice is caused by other reasons, it must be treated in a timely manner, otherwise it will still have a certain impact on the growth and development of the baby.
2. Supplement iron element
Sometimes babies do not have sufficient nutrition, such as a lack of iron, which can also cause their complexion to turn yellow and lose color. Timely supplementation of iron elements and encouraging babies to eat more vegetables and fruits are beneficial for their healthy growth.
3. Digestive system problems
Sometimes, due to problems with the baby's digestive system, it can affect their digestive system and lead to yellowing of the skin. Mothers should timely regulate the baby's digestive system.
4. Genetic inheritance of the family
In fact, Asians often have yellowish skin, but if parents' faces are already yellowish, the baby's skin can also be inherited.
