Patient's question:
Jaundice in the eyes, jaundiced face, visited Harbin Children's HospitalDoctor's answer:
One point to note is that breast milk can also cause neonatal jaundice. Breast milk contains substances that can cause abnormal metabolism of bilirubin, leading to hyperbilirubinemia and prolonged duration of jaundice in infants. The characteristic is that physiological jaundice does not subside, lasting for 1 to 3 months, but there are no other symptoms, and the infant's growth and development are normal. If breastfeeding is stopped for 48 hours, the bilirubin level in the blood will decrease, and it will rise again after resuming breastfeeding, but it will not return to the previous level.
