Patient's question:
My baby has been experiencing jaundice that hasn't gone away, and now the doctor has recommended stopping breastfeeding for three days. But the baby has been crying non-stop today, refusing to sleep, and is very fussy. What should I do? Is it okay to stop breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
If a newborn has jaundice and there is suspicion of breast milk jaundice, they need to stop breastfeeding for three days. If the breast milk continues to rise during diaper changes, it is necessary to pause breastfeeding until the baby's jaundice stabilizes before resuming. The baby will cry constantly if they are hungry; you can first give them formula milk. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my baby's jaundice doesn't go away?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
