Question
Can I continue breastfeeding if my baby’s bilirubin levels are consistently between 15-17?
Answer
Based on the description of the child’s condition, the child’s bilirubin levels have been hovering between 15 and 17. The doctor considers breastmilk jaundice. If it is breastmilk jaundice, breastfeeding should be stopped, and feeding should be gradually transitioned to using a bottle. It is recommended to feed the child reasonably, take the baby out in the sun more often to boost their immune system, pay attention to supplementing with vad drops, and regularly bring the baby to the hospital pediatric health consultation for monitoring the child’s growth and development.
