- Summary
- The association of breast-feeding and jaundice appears to be the result of incomplete excretion of meconium and a relative low caloric intake by some breast-fed infants.
- Breast-feeding and jaundice. A review. Journal of nurse-midwifery, [Go to PubMed]
- Clinically apparent jaundice occurs in up to 60% of newborns in the first week after birth and represents a significant proportion of prolonged infant hospitalization, increased health care costs, and anxiety for new parents. An association between breast-feeding and hyperbilirubinemia has been suggested by various researchers; however, the results of the studies have been inconclusive. The association of breast-feeding and jaundice appears to be the result of incomplete excretion of meconium and a relative low caloric intake by some breast-fed infants. Management strategies that have been proposed include unlimited suckling, temporary discontinuation of breast-feeding, supplementation, and phototherapy.

- Summary
- Hyperbilirubinemia is considered to be due to the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin present in the retained meconium.
- Hyperbilirubinemia connected with parenteral administration of higher amounts of fluids in premature infants. Biology of the neonate, 1978 [Go to PubMed]
- During a study on the influence of different amounts of fluid intake on water and electrolyte metabolism in the first 3 days of life, a high incidence of hyperbilirubinemia was observed in infants receiving a large water load (150 ml/kg/24 h) intravenously. The amount of meconium excreted during the 3-day period in newborns with total parenteral alimentation was significantly lower than in controls. Hyperbilirubinemia is considered to be due to the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin present in the retained meconium. The role of slight hemolysis and insufficient stimulation of choleresis is discussed.
