Patient's question:
A 36-day-old baby was told by the doctor to stop breastfeeding for 3 days due to jaundice. During this period, can the baby not be fed even a drop of breast milk? The baby always needs to be fed to fall asleep at night... otherwise, it cries extremely hard, and no matter how much you try to comfort it, it won't sleep...Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, physiological jaundice usually begins to fade around the 17th or 18th day of birth. Breast milk jaundice is not a problem if you stop breastfeeding for three days and then resume. In some cases, jaundice is related to breast milk, so you need to take a break. You can feed the child some formula milk, and you should also pump your breast milk at regular intervals to prevent milk regression. That's all about "Why was my 36-day-old baby told to stop breastfeeding for 3 days due to jaundice?" In conclusion, we wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
