There is a special cause of jaundice in newborns – breast milk jaundice, so the question of whether breast milk jaundice needs to be stopped is a problem for many mothers. First of all, what is breast milk jaundice? Breast milk jaundice occurs mostly in the first 2 weeks of life and is related to the composition of breast milk, and occurs in children who are exclusively breastfed or breastfed. Before diagnosing breast milk jaundice, you first need to rule out other causes such as premature birth, infection, hemolysis, etc. The child is otherwise well and not uncomfortable except for jaundice. Without intervention, jaundice may persist until 2-3 months. Whether the child needs to stop breastfeeding after considering breast milk jaundice is related to the specifics of the jaundice. Generally, if the jaundice value is higher than 15 mg/dl, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding for 3-5 days. If the jaundice value is below 15mg/dl, it is not necessary to stop breastfeeding. If the jaundice value exceeds 20mg/dl, blue light treatment is required. In addition, mothers often encounter the problem of jaundice and vaccination. Many children cannot be vaccinated after the first month of life because of jaundice, and some breast milk jaundice lasts for a long time and may affect the normal vaccination, in this case, you can stop breast milk and continue breastfeeding after the jaundice value drops to normal and after vaccination. Finally, it is important to emphasize that breastfeeding can be continued after intervention for breast milk jaundice and after the jaundice has decreased.
