Sharon,
Maybe you can get a copy of the references used for LLL's brochure. They
are:
Auerbach, K.G. and Gartner, L.M. Breastfeeding and human milk: their
association with jaundice in the neonate. Clin Perinatol 1987; 14:89-107.
Lascari, A.D. "Early" breastfeeding jaundice: clinical significance. J
Pediatr 1986; 108:156-158.
Murphy, J.F., Hughes, I., and Verrier-Jones, E.R. et al. Pregnanediol and
breast milk jaundice. Arch Dis Child 1981: 56:474-76.
Nicoll, A., Ginsberg, R., and Tripp, J.H. Supplementary feeding and jaundice
in newborns. Acta Paediatr Scand 1982; 71:759-61.
Lawrence, R.A., Breastfeeding: A Guide for ther Medical Profession. St.
Louis:C.V. Mosby Co., 1985.
Maybe if you can hand them a reference it will help. Don't forget to ask
them to reference their opinion for you! What studies say breastfeeding
should be discontinued?
