My baby had breastfeeding jaundice too and it only went off after about 3 mths or so. first make sure that ur baby has seen a paed and done all tests necessary to ensure that it is really breastfeeding jaundice (n not other problems). I was advised by my paed to breastfeed baby more often to help bring the jaundice level down n also to sun baby in the weak morning sun. I never stopped breastfeeding my son and am still doing it now at 9mths. He is doing good. I did a lot of research on my own too to find out more about breastfeeding jaundice. it would b good to equip urself with more knowledge on this :)
