<s>[INST] MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT MY BABY HAS BREASTMILK JAUNDICE. SHOULD I USE FORMULA? [/INST] Some doctors might get concerned at the extended elevation of bilirubin levels and may suggest formula.  A thorough benefit/risk assessment should be done to determine if that's an approach worth taking.  

Formula usage can quickly decrease bilirubin levels and may prove useful in resolving prolonged jaundice with elevated bilirubin between 20-25, but consideration of the long and short-term health impacts of formula must take place.  I refer to the ABM protocol #3  when talking to someone considering supplementation. It does a great job outlining when Artificial Infant milk may be necessary.
