Hi,

I have to situations with which I'd like advise.

First, a year old baby, no previous nursing problems, no sign of thrush in baby or mom, in a Northern climate, nursing 2-3 times a day.  Nipple is dry, flakey, and has a 1/3" crack around the base of the nipple.  Extreme pain with nursing, little pain inbetween.  Good latch but baby stretches nipple by bringing head away from mother which, before the crack was not a problem.

Second. 7 day old baby, breastfeeding, has phototherapy in the hospital within the first week which brought bili down.  Had a 16 bili yesterday had a 16.4 bili today.  Mom took baby off breastmilk the last 24 hours and fed formula.  Ped diagnosed breastmilk jaundice and ordered no breastmilk for 2-4 days.  What do you think?  Any studies to back up putting baby back to breast?

Thanks for help
