Anyone kid who has jaundice when born? Polyclinic doc advice me to stop breastfeed for now cos im taking confinement chinese red dates which could be the cause of the jaundice level. true?

my boy had jaundice in the low 200 range but I BF him nonetheless, PD also supported BF. it took about 2 months for jaundice to clear and he has always been a healthy baby :) unless your baby has an abnormally high level of bilirubin or has some issues with his liver, you can continue BF. There are unknown compounds in BM that slows down the recovery of jaundice but nothing to worry about.
