What Is Jaundice?

8. Breastfeeding Jaundice
All people need nutrition, but newborn babies need it more than anybody else. They need the nutrition in order to grow as quickly as possible and they are also entirely dependent on their parents for food. In the majority of cases, this means drinking milk from their mothers breasts. It is important that the mother feeds the baby all the milk they need, but this does not always occur.
Some babies are, unfortunately, victims of neglect. In addition, some mothers are unable to produce the necessary volume of milk for their baby. This can result in a number of unwelcome symptoms, and jaundice is one of them.
