Is neonatal jaundice breast milk jaundice?

Patient's question:

The newborn is now 28 days old. Jaundice began to appear on the third day of birth. The doctor said there was no major issue and that breastfeeding at home was possible. After returning home for a few days, the child had poor digestion.

Doctor's answer:

First, although your child still has a certain degree of jaundice, after receiving the necessary treatment, both the range of jaundice and the jaundice data from laboratory tests have significantly improved. This indicates that the process of jaundice is dynamic and this change is gradually becoming normal. Although the jaundice is significantly beyond the clinical physiological jaundice definition period, due to the gradual improvement under certain interventions, it is still necessary to adhere to the original treatment and continue monitoring. You should gradually improve, so there is no need to be too anxious for the time being.
