You have my permission to use anything I've written if it's in there and
to send it to the pediatrician. If I were a nervous mother, the last
thing I would give the baby is formula and stop breastfeeding.
Newman's aphorism:
With nonpathologic jaundice:
If the baby is breastfeeding well, forget the jaundice and encourage
breastfeeding.
If the baby is not breastfeeding well, forget the jaundice and fix the
breastfeeding.
