Breast Feeding And Jaundice

Breast Feeding And Jaundice

Jaundice is a result of buildup in the blood of the bilirubin, a yellow pigment that comes from the
breakdown of older red blood cells.  It's normal for the red blood cells to break down, although
the bilirubin formed doesn't normally cause jaundice because the liver will metabolize it and then get
rid of it in the gut.
