Patient's question:
My baby has been born for 7 days, but the level is high when checked at the hospital. I don't know if I can still breastfeed when the level is high. I'm very worried about my baby's health.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, if the jaundice is caused by high bilirubin from breastfeeding, it is best not to continue this approach. Breastfeeding not only leads to high jaundice but also makes it easy for the jaundice to not subside. In such cases, it is generally recommended to switch the child to infant formula for a period of time and observe. If necessary, take the child to the hospital for a check-up to see how the child is doing.
