Patient's question:
The bilirubin level has been fluctuating between 15-17, and I'm considering if it's breast milk jaundice and whether I need to stop breastfeeding. Recently, the baby has also refused the bottle, and I'm worried that if I stop breastfeeding, the baby won't take the bottle. Can I continue breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
According to the description of the child's condition, the child's jaundice level has been between 15 and 17. The doctor considers it to be breast milk jaundice. If it is breast milk jaundice, breastfeeding should be stopped and the child should be fed slowly with a bottle. It is recommended to feed reasonably, take the baby out more often to sunbathe, increase physical resistance, pay attention to supplementing with vitamin A, D, and iron drops, and take the baby to the pediatric health clinic regularly to monitor the child's growth and development.
