Mild or moderate yellow disease will disappear after 1 or 2 weeks because the baby's body managed to get rid of excess bilirubin by itself. Breastfeeding or supplements with formulas that help babies get rid of bilirubin.

If this is the case, then continue feeding the baby through the breast milk and return to breastfeeding once the jaundice has healed. For severe jaundice, phototherapy with special irradiation will help clear the bilirubin from the body. If the baby has severe jaundice and has not received any other treatment, blood transfusion may be performed. In some cases, your doctor may ask for Moms while stopping breastfeeding.
