I have tried to find out information online about this and everything comes up re: newborn jaundice. I am currently breastfeeding my 16 month old son 6-8 times a day (on demand). There is something going on with my pancreas/ducts and we are in the process of getting a diagnosis. I am currently in a state of high bilirubin in my urine, experiencing itching and other symptoms of hyperbilirubin, and the doctor think the only reason I have not “turned yellow†is because the bilirubin is also excreting in my breastmilk and my son nurses frequently enough to help keep it from building up to a critical point.
Is this true? Will it hurt my son? Should I wean him? I cannot find any information on this anywhere.
