How long does breast milk jaundice last?

Patient's question:

The baby has breast milk jaundice. How long will it take to go away? The baby is 48 days old today. After stopping breastfeeding for 5 days, the bowel movements became more frequent again when eating. Is this normal? Can the baby get vaccinated?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, the recovery time depends on the condition. Different individual constitutions result in different timeframes. In cases of breast milk jaundice, breastfeeding can be temporarily suspended, and formula feeding can be used instead. Generally, after stopping breastfeeding, recovery can be achieved quickly. In this situation, it is recommended to drink more glucose water to promote the fading of jaundice. This condition also allows for vaccinations. Medication support may be necessary when needed.
