The doctor believes that the baby has "breastmilk jaundice". The
baby, if anything, has "lack of breastmilk jaundice". There is lots
of documentation (in Pediatrics a few years ago) which backs up *not*
stopping breastfeeding. The physician has nothing to back him up.
The *mother* has the right to decide. Breastmilk with a lactation aid
and sugar water is okay. Sugar water alone is *not*.
