[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think they told me three days and it ended up being a week or so because the bilirubin numbers didn't go down fast enough. Maybe I'm reading into your post, but I wouldn't worry about not being able to go back to breastfeeding. Keep pumping. Maybe rent a hospital grade pump if you are worried about supply. My baby didn't have any issues returning to breastfeeding, but it was my second for whom I had to stop completely for while. (Both had breast milk jaundice but the first one's bilirubin didn't go as high.) I think there is a lot of stress out there about supplementing being bad. I supplemented due to breastfeeding jaundice, baby losing birth too much weight, breast milk jaundice, anesthesia I had that was unrelated to childbirth and the non-OB doctor recommended pump and dump, and being hospitalized suddenly so someone else had to feed the baby with no stored breast milk. I was still able to breastfeed both kids for well, well over a year each.[/quote]
