Breast milk jaundice can be cured by stopping breastfeeding for a few days

Generally speaking, breast milk jaundice can be significantly relieved after 3-5 days of stopping breastfeeding, and the serum bilirubin level can drop by about half. However, it is not recommended that mothers stop breastfeeding at will. It is generally believed that breastfeeding should be stopped only when the serum bilirubin reaches a certain range.

It is recommended here that if the baby develops jaundice, he must go to the hospital for further examination to find out the cause of the jaundice and then monitor the serum bilirubin level to achieve early diagnosis and appropriate intervention.

Then avoid the occurrence of various adverse reactions, especially for children with severe hyperbilirubinemia, that is, when the serum bilirubin is above 342.2μmol/L, and the transcutaneous bilirubin can exceed 20mg/dL, timely treatment must be given to avoid complications such as bilirubin encephalopathy.
