Jaundice

My newborn is having slight jaundice and requires to stay a night in hospital. With this, nurses will feed her with formula. Will baby reject breast milk after having formula? :(

It really depends on baby but likely may not be as they can't really taste much yet at tt age. My baby was hospitalised for 5 days for jaundice aft I was discharged and he was given formula too. My milk was still low but I still tried to express and store in syringes and got my husband to send over to the hospital everyday. The nurse will give him BM first and then supplement him with FM. When he's back home, my baby still breastfeeds as usual. Even at 6+ months now, he's fine with both BM and FM so don't worry!
