# There is also a condition called breast milk jaundice #

That's what I have been thinking myself (have read my Lawrence and
Riordan & Auerbach and BAB ;)), and haven't really worried much about
it, but I find it a bit confusing that those books say that kind of
jaundice should disappear by about two months of age, and he is 16
weeks now. My first son was yellow, too, but not for _this_ long. What
is biting me a bit is that I hear moms telling how they "this time
knew to prevent jaundice by frequent bfeeding", and I am, too,
supposed to know thisandthat about frequent bfeeding, then _my_ baby
happens to be yellow for weeks, LOL.

Oh well, all babies are individuals :) .
