I was reading through the various articles on this topic posted on the various hospital and healthcare websites: https://www.nuh.com.sg/ktp-nucmi/clinical-care/disease-and-conditions/kidney-liver-problems/jaundice-newborn.html https://www.singhealth.com.sg/PatientCare/ConditionsAndTreatments/Pages/Jaundice-Baby.aspx http://www.healthxchange.com.sg/healthyliving/childrenhealth/Pages/Jaundice-in-Newborn-Babies-and-Children.aspx All recommended that a mother continue to breastfeed her baby. You could find out more on why your PD made that suggestion. Another point worth noting is that, to date, there had been not been any known harmful effect found in babies who continued to be breastfed while having jaundice.
