My NB has jaundice and i have heard breastfeeding causes the jaundice level to rise is it true? Any mummy can advice how to reduce the jaundice level?

Jaundice happens when bilirubin (produced by the normal breakdown of red blood cells) builds up faster than a newborn's liver can break it down and pass it from the body. It is a common condition among newborn and you shouldn’t be too worried. Common treatments include more frequent feedings of breast milk, or phototherapy. To date, there had been not been any known harmful effect found in babies who continued to be breastfed while having jaundice.
