I'm almost sure that I read research indicating that th ebest way to prevent
more then a little jaundice and to get rid of it fastest is to breastfeed
from right after birth  an very frequent thereafter.
How was the quality of breastfeeding in the research suggesting that formula
is better?

And I also do seem to remeber research that children who are slightly
jaundiced do better in one way or another, but I can't recall what it was.
My problem is that I read so much I can't always remember where and how.

Warmly greeting,
