Hi Kathy. The burden of responsibility is on the physician who is advising that the mother wean. A bili of 16 is probably not cause for concern. I think that the mother should breastfeed her baby and get a new pediatrician. She has free choice. She should USE it. Kathleen Kathleen B. Bruce, BSN, IBCLC co-owner Lactnet, Indep.
