Question
If a newborn’s jaundice does not subside and they continue to cry and be restless after three days of stopping breastfeeding, can breastfeeding be continued?
Answer
If a newborn is suspected to have breastmilk jaundice, they should stop breastfeeding to observe the jaundice index. If the jaundice index continues to rise, breastfeeding should be temporarily stopped until it stabilizes before resuming feeding. For restless babies, feeding formula milk can be considered to alleviate their hunger. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish you and your baby well.
