Patient's question:
Hello, can I breastfeed after jaundice has gone down? What are some good methods for treatment? Please give me some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Yes, you can try to see if the jaundice still appears after your baby has eaten your milk. If it does, you must stop breastfeeding and switch to formula. After the breast milk jaundice subsides, you can continue breastfeeding. Most babies will not develop jaundice again, but a few may have recurrence. However, as long as you stop breastfeeding again, it will be completely resolved. If your baby had severe jaundice before and took medication to reduce jaundice under medical advice, it is best to communicate with your doctor to see if you can breastfeed normally.
