Abstract
|
|
|
Recently, we have seen four cases of exaggerated neonatal jaundice associated with breast feeding. The hyperbilirubinemia was of the indirect reacting type, and in all, exhausative investigations for known causes of hyperbilirubinemia, including that of the hemolysis or blood group incompatibilities, were negative.
Discontinuation of breast feeding was followed by rapid reduction in serum bilirubin level, and two of these cases were documented further by a second rise in serum bilirubin level after a fall had occurred when breast feeding were resumed. This second rise in bilirubin level after resumption of breast feeding may be a good evidence that breast feeding was the causative factor.
