DS3 was jaundiced after birth and had to be on a bili blanket for 5 days until his bili levels dropped down under 12. He is now 5 weeks old. His bili levels have only dropped 1 point since 3 weeks ago. They are still in a “safe” range but he’s visibly yellow. Our ped is attributing it to breast milk jaundice and said he’s not worried and won’t test levels again until his 2 month check.

Does this sound right? He is definitely getting enough breast milk as he has gained 4 lbs this month. I’m calling our old pediatrician today for a second opinion (I miss her. We only switched because we moved 6 hours away). Anyone have any experiences with jaundice beyond 1 month old?
