We donot recommend sugar water. We do ot allow to develop sweet tooth. How much is jaundice? Since how long? Is it since birth due to blood incompati lìty. PUT your child in sun covering eyes and genitals. Just breast feed the baby. I am interested to know progress Take prior appointment and consult. Do LFT before consulting.

You should not give anything other than breastfeeding to your baby till 6 months of age. How old is your baby and does he has jaundice. Jaundice can be because of many reason.
