My concern with these things is that formula is used as medication and that there is a lack of concern for the unwanted effects of this particular product. Meaning: does anyone calculate the benefit of using this medication against the unwanted effects of it in mid- and longterm functioning. Probably the studies which pointed to cessation of breastfeeding in favor of formula were done well and did show the significant effects that were claimed, but that does not mean it is a good solution. Problem with modern medicine is that it analyses too much, loosing sight of the total. People, however, do tend to not function well when split into many little fragments.

Warmly,

>There was an older study that showed that formula feeding for 24 hours would reduce the bili sufficiently and then BF resumed.  If baby's liver is normal then you ignore the yellow tinged skin.
