Question
What are the effects of a child eating Yinzhu Huang while breastfeeding? My child is 42 days old and has a bilirubin level of 10.3 during the physical examination. After seeing a doctor, a box of Yinzhu Huang was prescribed, and it was advised not to breastfeed for three days. This hasn’t happened before, and the child cries if not given milk. Can breastfeeding be resumed, and what are the effects?
Answer
Not breastfeeding for three days is to consider the possibility Of breast-feeding jaundice . If the bilirubin level quickly decreases after stopping breastfeeding for three days, it proves that it is breast milk jaundice, which is not serious and will not affect the child’s health. Stopping breastfeeding is not because of taking Yinzhu Huang; taking Yinzhu Huang does not affect breastfeeding. It’s best to stop breastfeeding for three days to observe the bilirubin situation and switch to formula milk. However, if the child really won’t eat formula milk, then breastfeeding can continue, and Yinzhu Huang can be taken for a few more days.
