Which of the following is the best next step in breast feeding infant with jaundice
Correct Answer: Increase feeding to 15-20minutes every 2hours
Description: Breast milk jaundice can last for 3-12 weeks after bih, but as long as the baby is feeding well and bilirubin levels are monitored, it rarely leads to serious complications. Breast milk jaundice must also be differentiated from breastfeeding jaundice, which is jaundice resulting from an insufficient intake of milk. Reference: GHAI Essential pediatrics, 8th edition
