<< << Dr. Lawrence Gartner speak today in Holyoke, MA on just this
subject! He stated that in a healthy, full-term bf infant, moderate levels
of elevated serum unconjugated bilirubin do not require any treatment, and
that after 72 hours of age, levels of up to 18 to 20 mg/dl in those healthy
infants do not require supplementation with formula or interruption of
bfing,
nor is phototherapy necessary. >>
Did he give any references? >>
