Hi, all:  I'm just busting my buttons and have to announce the news to my
2,000+ fellow Lactnetters.  Just received my copy of the new Saunders
Manual of Medical Practice with the chapter on neonatal jaundice which I
contributed.  If this sounds like shameless self-promotion, my reason
for announcing this is to help you out by providing a reference in a
gosh-darned medical textbook (the Saunders Manual is a well-respected text
with short, practical chapters on diagnosis and management of common
conditions, and I believe most medical libraries carry it), which you can
give to those physicians (and other hcp's) who are still telling mothers
to stop breastfeeding due to "breastfeeding" jaundice or supplementing
jaundiced babies inappropriately.

The reference would be as follows:  Dermer A.  Symptom: Neonatal jaundice,
in Saunders Manual of Medical Practice, Robert E. Rakel (ed), 2nd Ed,
2000, W.B. Saunders; pp475-478.

There is also a great chapter on breastfeeding by our fellow Lactnetter,
Rebecca Williams, MD.  Way to go, Becky!

Regards to all, Alicia Dermer, MD, IBCLC, in now sunny and very
spring-like New Jersey.
