Can newborns also get jaundice when they eat breast milk?

Many parents have only heard of "physiological jaundice" and "pathological jaundice", but have not heard of "breast milk jaundice" caused by breastfeeding. Breast milk is the natural food of infants, and breastfeeding babies has many advantages, but according to statistics, 0.5% of N2% of newborns develop "breast milk jaundice" after breastfeeding.

Neonatal breast milk jaundice mostly occurs on the 4~7 days after birth, and it is difficult to distinguish from physiological jaundice at the beginning, but physiological jaundice gradually subsides after 5~6 days of birth, and the jaundice degree of breast milk jaundice reaches its peak in the 2~3 weeks after birth.Although jaundice is obvious, the baby has a good appetite, still breastfeeds, and his weight increases according to normal growth and development; Despite various examinations, no other cause of jaundice has been identified. If it is considered to be breast milk jaundice, stop breastfeeding for 3 days, and feed cow's milk or milk powder, and the jaundice will subside significantly; If the jaundice does not go away after 3 days and the bilirubin value does not decrease in the blood test, the jaundice is not caused by breastfeeding, and other causes should be actively investigated.

In breast milk, even if the jaundice is deep, it does not cause kernicterus and does not damage the brain, so there is no need to stop breastfeeding. As for the cause of jaundice in breast milk, some people think that the pregnadiol or unsaturated fatty acids in breast milk inhibit the combination of bilirubin and glucuronic acid, and some people think that the activity of β-glucuronidase in breast milk is particularly high, which increases the reabsorption of bilirubin in the intestine.
