Billy Blanket Photo Therapy in Mother Side (Billy Blanket 2.0)
We offer Billy Blanket Photo Therapy as a convenient and effective treatment for neonatal jaundice, right on the mother’s side. This method allows the baby to undergo photo therapy while staying close to the mother, promoting bonding and making it easier for mothers to provide care during treatment.
Key Benefits:
- Convenience for Mother and Baby: The baby can remain in the mother's room, receiving treatment without being separated. This allows mothers to continue breastfeeding and bond with their newborn while the therapy is being administered.
- Non-Invasive and Comfortable: The therapy uses a special blanket that emits blue light to break down bilirubin in the baby’s body. The baby can remain wrapped in the blanket, making the treatment non-invasive and comfortable.
- Promotes Early Feeding and Bonding: With the baby close to the mother, breastfeeding is encouraged, which can help with bilirubin elimination and overall well-being.
- Continuous Monitoring: Despite being at the mother's side, the baby is monitored for vital signs, bilirubin levels, and overall well-being to ensure the therapy is effective.
Conditions Treated :
- Neonatal Jaundice: The primary condition for which Billy Blanket Photo Therapy is used. The baby may develop jaundice due to a high level of bilirubin in the blood, which the light from the Billy Blanket helps break down.
- Physiological Jaundice: Common in many newborns, this condition typically resolves with the use of photo therapy.
- Breastfeeding Jaundice: Jaundice that occurs when insufficient breastfeeding or dehydration prevents proper bilirubin elimination, where Billy Blanket Photo Therapy can provide effective treatment.
