Yes, have to keep letting them drink to bring jaundice level down, that's why I had to resort to expressing BM to bottle feed. Coz latching a sleepy baby was tough, he didn't drink much. It's a vicious cycle.
When they don't drink much, bilirubin cannot be passed out and when jaundice level cannot go down, they cannot gain weight. That's why I asked autumn leaf earlier if her LO was drinking well.
Same I also expressing for bottle feed now. Will still try to latch her during the day but I think she not keen cos her latch very shallow and she is lazy... so can't get the milk. The lactation consultant scolded her yesterday... it was so funny. She said baby! You never cooperate. No star for you! Hahaha...
