This baby needs to be evaluated and quickly by a more competent doctor. 
  His advice is downright dangerous.

A simple google search on "breastmilk jaundice" brings a whole series 
of questions in my mind of things that need to be ruled out despite 
good weight gain, especially with low bowel motility, soft/pale yellow 
poop, lack of family history for breastmilk jaundice.

It could be as simple as a gut-yeast issue that is causing low number 
of stools and thus the baby can't rid his body of the excess 
billirubin, but it COULD BE something much more complex: kidneys, 
thyroid, liver misfunction.

As the mother of a baby who "appears fine" but has a complex medical 
history and chronic disease, I'd fire this doctor immediately and seek 
more competent medical assistance.
