THE IMPORTANCE OF FEEDING TYPE IN NEONATAL PHYSIOLOGICAL JAUNDICE
Abstract
Physiological jaundice in newborns is a widespread condition, often resulting from the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood. This research article aims to analyze the impact of feeding methods (breastfeeding versus formula feeding) on the development and duration of physiological jaundice. Systematic literature review revealed that jaundice occurs more frequently and lasts longer in breastfed infants. However, this condition is primarily associated with inadequate milk intake or improper breastfeeding techniques. Research findings indicate that properly organized breastfeeding plays a crucial role in preventing jaundice. In conclusion, while breastfeeding remains preferable, medical supervision and proper breastfeeding techniques are essential.
