Hyperbilirubinemia in the breast-Fed Newborn: A Controlled Trial of Four 
Interventions.  Martinez, Maisels, otheguy, Garcia, Savorani,Mogni, & 
Martinez Jr. Pediatrics, 91(2) Feb 1993, 470-473
Group 1- Continued breastfeeding and observation
Group 2- D/C Breastfeeding and use formula
Group 3 D/C BF, use formula and phototherapy -ppeared to be best chioce of 
4.
Group 4 continue BF and use phototherapy

Article said none of the babies reached dangerous levels and parents need to 
be offered the options and see what works for them Also said the best option 
for mothers who don't want to D/C BF is to BF and use bili blanket.
