How to feed the baby when breast milk jaundice occurs? Jaundice that appears two or three days after birth is called early-onset breast milk jaundice, which is related to late breastfeeding, insufficient breastfeeding and late excretion of meconium in the newborn. There is no need to stop breastfeeding. Generally, the jaundice can gradually subside through frequent sucking of the newborn. Late-onset breast milk jaundice that gradually appears one week after birth is called late-onset breast milk jaundice. Jaundice can reach its peak around 10 days, lasting for 2-3 weeks, or even gradually subsiding after two or three months. If there are no abnormal symptoms, the life pattern is normal, and the height and weight are normal, there is no need to stop breastfeeding, and it can be left to subside naturally. If the jaundice still worsens, even if you switch to cow's milk or formula milk powder, the jaundice does not subside, you can continue to observe or test the blood bilirubin under the guidance of the health care department. When it is confirmed that the blood bilirubin continues to increase, you should seek medical treatment.
