Patient's question:
Baby is 35 days old, jaundice is around 10 points, why should breastfeeding be stopped for a few more days? What's the relationship with breastfeeding? If it doesn't go down, can't eat breast milk forever?Doctor's answer:
Principally, jaundice occurring more than thirty days later is considered pathological jaundice. After more than a month, the baby should not still be yellow if everything is normal. If jaundice persists at this stage, consider breast milk jaundice. If other diseases are ruled out and the child is developing normally, it can be considered breast milk jaundice. Although the jaundice level is not very high, its duration is long, and the presence of jaundice can affect vaccination. Stopping breastfeeding will lead to a faster resolution, while continuing breastfeeding will result in a slower resolution.
