Phototherapy is treatment with a special type of light (not sunlight). It is sometimes used to treat newborn jaundice by making it easier for the babys liver to break down and remove the bilirubin from babys blood. Phototherapy aims to expose the babys skin to as much light as possible. The baby is placed under a light either in a cot or incubator with their eyes covered. It will usually be stopped for 30 minutes so you can feed your baby, change their nappy and give them a cuddle. If the babys jaundice does not improve, intensified phototherapy may be offered. This involves increasing the amount of light used or using another source of light, such as a light blanket, at the same time. Treatment cannot be stopped for breaks during intensified phototherapy. During phototherapy, the babys temperature will be monitored to make sure they are not getting too hot, and checked for signs of dehydration. Intravenous fluids may be needed if the baby is becoming dehydrated and they are not able to drink enough. The bilirubin levels will be tested every 4 to 6 hours after phototherapy has started, to check if the treatment is working. Once the babys bilirubin levels have stabilised or started to fall, they will be checked every 6 to 12 hours. Phototherapy will be stopped when the bilirubin levels fall to a safe level, which usually takes a day or two. Phototherapy is generally very effective for newborn jaundice and has few side effects.
