Hello
"Over two thirds (of British pAediatricians) would not interrupt
breastfeeding, and most others would do so only occasionally or for less
than 24 hours." This and much more in:
Dodd KL: Neonatal Jaundice - a lighter touch. Arch Dis Child
1993;68:529-533.
It's a comment on a previous paper from Newman and Maisels (Pediatrics
1992;89:809), and compares USA and UK current practices: "A recommendation
that will surprise many British paediatricians is that breastfeeding be
interrupted in well infants without haemolysis when the serum bilirrubin is
275-425 micromol/l" (16-25 mg/100 ml). Fine sense of humour!
I think there is also a recommendation from AAP in Pediatrics stating BF
doesn't need to be interrupted (forgot reference, sorry!)
