Bathing effects on babies getting light therapy for jaundice
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving a bath to newborns receiving light therapy for jaundice helps with their comfort, skin health, and jaundice levels. If your baby is healthy except for jaundice and needs phototherapy, this study could show if bathing makes them feel better.
