Breastfeeding jaundice occurs in the baby's body. The jaundice symptoms on the body will persist for several months. They often appear around 3-8 weeks after birth and subside at 6-12 weeks. Generally, the jaundice symptoms will subside 3 days after stopping breastfeeding. Therefore, if you want to determine whether it is breast-feeding jaundice, you can suspend the child's breast milk, check the bilirubin value, and then let the child drink breast milk and check the bilirubin value again. If the value is elevated, breast milk jaundice can be diagnosed.
