my baby had breastfeeding jaundice which lasted up to 3mths after birth. mine was in the slightly high range and we had to do 1 round of phototherapy. my paed advised that i increase my breastfeeding sessions to get him to take in more milk and also to sun him in the weak morning sun. i took chinese red dates during confinement too n paed was ok with that. foodwise, paed told me to avoid taking wine (medical wine for confinement). mayb the polyclinic doc should update a bit more on medical knowledge..
