So I had my son Mateo on the 2nd of August. Thursday, we had him taken in to check his jaundice levels, it was at 13, today we tested again and it's at 11. So they're coming down, but his pediatrician called and told me that another thing he wants me to do (besides having him in sunlight) was to stop breastfeeding and switch to formula for a few days. Hes been EBF since he was born, I havent even pumped yet. I dont really want to switch him over but I want the jaundice to go away of course. I just dont understand how switching to formula could help. If anybody had been in a similar situation I'd appreciate advice, should I just do what he's telling me or maybe get a second opinion. 2 days isnt so bad but I dont want it to upset his stomach or anything so I'm a little nervous about it!🤗
