I agree totally with Pam's lament.  Poor breastfeeding may be a cause of
jaundice, but poor hospital practices have caused more jaundice than
anything else.  A recent private client of mine birthed (no, actually she
was delivered - she had a c/s) in a private hospital and had a history of
major breastfeeding problems first baby, so got me in antenatally and to
visit in hospital.  I advised my usual regime - skin-to-skin, don't let
baby out of sight, etc.  Came to visit first morning after c/s and she'd
fed baby at 2am and it's now 8.30am and baby is still in the nursery.  Next
day the nurse rang to tell me baby had lost more than 10% of birthweight
and, sarcastically, what was my plan now?
Arrrggghhhh!!
