Jingles: Agree! Hopefully she belongs to the category of "my friend's daughter so better take good care type.". And agree it's better to get one based on recommendation.
Stella: Had just come back from a Medela Seminar which touches on jaundice too. Based on what is shared, it's a myth that ginger will worsen jaundice. Aside from either 1 or 2 types of jaundice, the best way to help the situation is to feed your child more regularly. Somehow, having your child feed and digest more aids in the recovery of jaundice. Aside from those 1-2 types of jaundice (which gets worse with breastfeeding), in most cases when breastfeeding, mothers are encouraged to take food that contains good stomach bacteria (i only remember yogurt) which goes indirectly to the bb through breast milk and which aids in the recovery of jaundice.
Don't ask me for the names of those 1-2 specific types of jaundice, so many technical terms, I got a headache halfway and just focus on some essence of the message.
