Parents all hope that their newborn baby can grow up smoothly and healthily, and have a happy childhood. So in every moment of the baby's growth, we don't want to miss it. Sometimes I find that my baby's fingers are yellow and I am very worried about them. So, what's going on with my baby's yellow fingers?
Parents who find their children's fingers yellow should decide based on the specific situation, as there are many reasons for this. During the neonatal period, jaundice is present in both hands and feet, and the possibility of neonatal jaundice should be considered first. Bilirubin accumulates on the surface of a baby's skin, causing yellowing of the skin and eyes. The baby's body will appear yellow visible to the naked eye, and their hands and feet will also turn yellow. Most newborns will experience jaundice after one week of birth. Parents should not worry too much, they usually disappear within a few days.
For older babies, it may be due to parents feeding excessive amounts of foods rich in carotenoids when adding complementary foods, which can cause yellowing of the baby's skin color. Parents should pay attention to identification. If this is the case, parents can give the baby more green foods to relieve it. Parents should pay attention to diversification when adding complementary foods to their babies. Do not think that any food is nutritious and just give it to the baby every day. This will cause the baby's resistance and also have an impact on their body.
Parents of babies with yellow fingers should pay attention to specific examination and appropriate treatment according to different reasons. They should be careful not to panic and not give their babies random medication.
