Baby’s Jaundice Index Abnormal, How to Handle It?

The baby is 45 days old and the skin test shows an abnormal jaundice index of forehead 14, abdomen 12, and thigh 11. Today, at 47 days, the index is forehead 13, abdomen 14, and thigh 11. The doctor prescribed Lactobacillus Sporogenes Live Bacterial Granules to be taken with warm water or in milk since yesterday. The doctor suggested discontinuing breastfeeding for 3 days. However, on the first day, the baby was fed formula during the day and breastmilk at night; on the third day, a few sips of breastmilk were consumed, and since then, only formula has been fed. Concerning assistance: Is this index high? Can the baby receive the vaccine now? Should breastfeeding be strictly discontinued? Does it have to be a complete discontinuation for three full days? I asked the doctor today, and they said the index is normal and it’s fine to breastfeed and get vaccinated. However, I’m still worried about the abdominal index decreasing.
