#AskTheExpert hi doctor, my daughter is 2 weeks old. Right after birth she got jaundice and blood infection. thankfully she is doing fine now. I notice that she latches for 10- 15 mins and gets tired. she goes off to sleep and asks for milk again in 5-10 mins. I do I deal with this?

A. The following steps may lessen jaundice: More-frequent feedings. Feeding more frequently will provide your baby with more milk and cause more bowel movements, increasing the amount of bilirubin eliminated in your baby's stool. Breast-fed infants should have eight to 12 feedings a day for the first several days of life.
