I have never stopped breastfeeding. My daughter had jaundice levels of 143 and it took about a week to clear. I hear ginger keeps the jaundice level high, but I can't confirm. I believe the benefits of breastmilk (especially the antibodies and nutrients) outweigh the risks (jaundice). Latch your baby more to flush out the jaundice. There are only very few instances where it is advisable to stop breastfeeding and that is when it endangers the health of either the mother or child.
