Hi, Laurie. Thanks for responding. The baby was five days old. I don't remember the exact percentages, but his weight loss was less than 10%. He was breastfeeding well at the time of discharge--without any signs of jaundice. I felt so bad for this mom, because she was blaming herself. That's a good question about whether kernicterus has ever occurred due to breastfeeding jaundice. I'd be interested if anyone knows.
