Patient's question:
Jaundice in the eyes, jaundiced face, have been treated at 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 lead to abnormal metabolism of bilirubin, which may result in hyperbilirubinemia and prolonged duration of jaundice in infants. The characteristic is that physiological jaundice does not subside, persisting 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.
