nope.

there's many reasons for jaundice............

breastmilk is a rare cause.

and breastmilk jaundice is harmless. to stop breast feeding because of breastfeeding jaundice cause more harm than good.

those that stop a few days then ok is not breast milk jaundice.

duh.

and there's no harm to breast milk jaundice.........no reason to stop.

nope.

jaundice is just yellow looking of the skin. the real harm is high level of bilirubin before the blood brain barrier is fully formed which is at day 14 for term babies. high level of bilirubin before day 14 can cause kernicterus. after that there's no harm in jaundice.

neonatal jaundice is caused by increased break down of fetal type red blood cell.
physiological neonatal jaundice can occur in about 40 percent of neonates. the jaundice in physiological jaundice hardly ever pass the point requiring phototherapy.
pathological jaundice occurs when there is infection or ABO antigen antibody incompatibility or Rhesus factor antibodies occur in the neonates. these can cause very high level of jaundice and usually occur very early in neonates.

so, if you stop breast feeding before day 14 how do you know if it is due to breast milk jaundice or not?

and breast milk jaundice never cause high level of bilirubin.

zero indication to stop breast feeding in a child with jaundice.

now stop spreading this ignorance and get educated.

blablabla.

many reasons.

time.

baby liver can mature over time.

blablabla......

what's your indication for stopping breast feeding again????

no it doesn't.

read more.

then you read wrong.

no one will diagnose breast milk jaundice before day 14.

and so?

most jaundice clear on its own by that time.

take it or leave it.

Try having a baby, 7th day, went photo treatment...21 days later readmitted. Full breastmilk. Stopped on day 21-30. Continue after that. No more Jaundice. That's my son. He's 8 now. If you suspect Jaundice from breastmilk, no harm stopping a few days. My son was on bmilk all the way till 2.

yes absurd indeed.
studies were done and found no correlation.

Readmitted for Jaundice. Imagine how heartbroken we were.

day 21 is prolonged jaundice.

no reason to readmit to hospital. kk should be able to carry out investigation.

readmitted for what?

day 21 don't even require phototherapy.

why phototheraphy for prolonged jaundice?
no point.

better to investigate cause of jaundice. if rule out all the cause then it is just harmless breast milk jaundice.
