I am a breastfeeding mom and so I found out that my baby is border line Jaundice. I am against formula 100% and do not want to feed my baby formula. I am more of an ORGANIC mommy due to the research I have found on formula and possessed foods.

Anyways my son's Pediatrician immediately insisted that I give my son formula until the Jaundice is all gone and to stop breastfeeding. I was not happy about that so I went home and did research on my own on jaundice. I read that if your baby has mild jaundice, all you have to do is expose them to light or pump and bottle feed your baby so you know your baby is eating well. Therefore I continued to breastfeed and pump. I also started to expose him to light. In my eyes he is looking alot better but I know it takes a couple of weeks for Jaundice to go away completely. However for his next appointment I told his pediatrician what I was doing and she was not happy with me because I did not follow her orders. She made me feel horrible so I am currently switching pediatrician.

My question is... am I wrong for not feeding my son Man made formula? Didn't God make breast on women for a reason and besides it could confuse my son, I think. Also have any of you mommies had a Jaundice baby such as my son? Do I really need to stop breastfeeding?
