It's quite normal for breastfed babies to take 2-3months for the bilirubin levels to go down.
My twins are coming to 1 month old but their bilirubin levels are about 200 & 160.
Don't think there is a need to stop breastfeeding nor introduce FM as long as it is going down.

I think this is common as most of the babies will have it for the first 2 months ba. Subsequently will be better de. As long the blood test result for the liver is normal then no need worry too much, ok. Slowly will decrease day by day. Breastfeeding will cause jaundice. However no need to stop if doctor say "no problem go ahead."
This is my first baby. Brought my baby to polyclinic for injection in early afternoon, asked the doc to check his jaundice. The nurse don't know how to take out the blood, poke the needle in, no blood, poke again... my baby so painful.... Did blood test, results was 148, doc say very serious, ask us to bring him to nuh emergency...
Doc at nuh very young n inexperienced, says its not so serious, say she cannot do anything, did blood test for liver.... the doc don't know how to take out the blood, poke the needle, keep screwing the needle etc... my baby cried like hell..... Results came out, liver ok.... asked for for follow up next week.
My heart so painful that my baby go through all these suffering.. Don't wish to bring him back for another blood test but yet very worried.... really dilemma.....
Please share yr experience and advices. Thank you so much!

My son's was very high when he was born. It was almost 350 umol/l (I did the conversion online cos the bilrubin level given by paed was in mg/dl) when we went for the 1st checkup a week after he was born and hospitalisation was recommended for phototherapy. He continued to be yellow beyond 2 mths actually with exclusive bf.

After the blood test showed that his liver is ok, PD told us to feed him on FM instead of breastmilk for 3 complete days.
True enough, no more jaundice
In fact, on that day before we brought him for the blood test, we fed him FM..and we found that jaundice have cleared alot lor...
and the following afternoon on that day PD clinic called to tell us to feed him on FM exclusively ...
advise u to pump out ur breastmilk when ur baby is on fm...otherwise ur supply will drop

now..at 21mths..he is very adventurous...playing with his own 3Gphone...
