Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Xie Zixing
Symptoms of breast milk jaundice in newborns may include skin yellowing and poor feeding. In most cases, breast milk jaundice occurs due to breastfeeding, leading to yellow discoloration of the newborn's skin and possibly causing reduced appetite. Typically, no other symptoms are present, and the jaundice may resolve spontaneously within three weeks to about two months, so there is generally no need for concern.
