breastfeeding (lactation failure) vs breast milk jaundice
breastfeeding: age <1 week
- insufficient intake of breast milk causing delayed stooling and and increase in enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin
breast milk: age >1 week
- increased B-glucuronidase in the breast milk causing increased deconjugation of intestinal bilirubin and increased enterohepatic circulation
treatment for breastfeeding jaundice
increase frequency of breastfeeding
