Lethargic,Breathing issue, Improper feed
Hi,
I have some queries
My baby boy, 7 days old
He is lethargic and always likes to sleep
Feeding type: mother's milk + powder milk (less quantity of milk production)
After feeding sometimes hiccups
Improper feed, sometimes take 30 ml milk, sometimes less than that qty. Not showing hungry at all.
Main concern: Recently he vomits after taking active D3 (0.5ml/ day) and took deep breath for 4-5 mins
We are very much afraid about this certain period breathing problem. Deep breathing observed frequent basis lasting 5-6 seconds
Please guide me what to do 🙏
**Bilirubin was high (15 after 2 days), phototherapy treatment applied. After 24 hours bilirubin range was decreased to 8

Physical check up by a pediatrician is needed for lethargy. Sleeping more can be normal at this age. Hiccups are normal. They are similar to colic and due to gases. You can give colic drops. Amount of feeds taken can be variable. Weight tracking is important. Stop vitamin D if he is vomiting. Alternate brands can be started after a few days. Check up is needed for breathing issue. Please visit a pediatrician for check up. No need to be afraid. These are quite common issues in newborns. Since you have so many doubts, direct guidance is necessary

Please consult your nearby Pediatrician. Lethargy is totally different from sleepiness. Baby should be taking feeds actively every 2-3 hours at this age.
