After the treatment of neonatal jaundice, should probiotics continue to be administered?
My baby has just completed treatment for jaundice, and the jaundice has subsided. I would like to know whether probiotics should still be continued?

After treatment for infant jaundice, the intestinal flora may still be in a state of imbalance. Probiotics help regulate the intestinal microecology and promote bilirubin metabolism and excretion, thus playing a positive role during jaundice treatment. After jaundice subsides, it takes some time for intestinal function to recover, and continued use of probiotics may help consolidate intestinal health.
First, observe the baby's digestive condition, such as whether bowel movements are normal, and check for signs of bloating or spitting up milk. If digestive function is good, under a doctor's guidance, the probiotic dosage can be gradually reduced until discontinued. If the baby still experiences mild digestive issues, the duration of probiotic use can be appropriately extended.
