Jaundice: What it is and how to get rid of it

In this episode we chat with Dr. Elissa Gonzalez of Blue Monarch Pediatrics about jaundice! Does delayed cord clamping increase the risk of jaundice? How do you know if your baby's bilirubin is truly high enough to warrant staying longer in the hospital? Can you effectively eliminate jaundice at home? She helps us break down what it is and how you can help your baby get rid of it.

Dr. Elissa Gonzalez is a board certified and integrative certified pediatrician and lactation consultant (IBCLC) practicing at Blue Monarch Pediatrics in Lakeway, TX. She specializes in behavior, social/emotional development, ADHD and newborn care. She understands that each child is a one-of-a-kind individual, and their health is influenced by various factors, including physical, emotional, and social elements. Her approach is all-encompassing, focusing on nurturing every aspect of a child's well-being. She looks beyond the symptoms to find the root causes, and collaborates with families to create a customized care plan that promotes balance and harmony.
