Hello. Welcome to HCM. As a breastfeeding Specialist i would tell you that jaundice in babies may need time in order to go away completely. So don't worry. Just give your baby as much breast milk as you can in order to help him with his bilirubin levels. If the baby jaundice spread down to the body or to the extremities then you should go and check with your pd. As long as baby jaundice stays only in the babies face you should not be worried.
