<s>[INST] Does breastfeeding affect jaundice? [/INST] Jaundice is more common in babies who are breastfed than babies who are formula-fed. This occurs mainly in infants who are not nursing well. If you are breastfeeding, you should nurse your baby at least 8 to 12 times a day for the first few days. This will help you produce enough milk and will help to keep the baby’s bilirubin level down. If you are having trouble breastfeeding, ask your pediatrician, nurse, or lactation specialist for help. Source: Mass General Brigham.
