Breast milk jaundice does not have strict food taboos, so there is no such thing as a taboo food for breast milk jaundice. Breastmilk jaundice occurs in newborns who are exclusively or predominantly breastfed. Breastmilk jaundice is not affected by the mother’s diet, so the mother’s diet does not need to be avoided. The cause of breast milk jaundice is not fully understood, but some studies have found a link to enzymes or genes in breast milk. Breast milk jaundice usually peaks about two weeks after a newborn is born, 3 to 5 days after birth, and will gradually subside over time. Breastmilk jaundice does not usually require special treatment and breastfeeding can be continued. However, regular measurements are needed, and if the baby’s bilirubin level exceeds normal, he or she needs to be hospitalized in the neonatal unit of the hospital.
