Question: 1 / 400

What should be encouraged if a baby has prolonged elevated levels of bilirubin?

Start formula feeding

Decrease the breastfeeding frequency

Encourage 10-12 effective feeds per day

Encouraging 10-12 effective feeds per day is the correct choice because breast milk helps decrease bilirubin levels in babies. Feeding frequently helps increase the baby's intake of milk, which in turn aids in the elimination of bilirubin through the stool. This process is important in managing jaundice in infants. Starting formula feeding, decreasing breastfeeding frequency, and using herbal remedies are not recommended approaches for managing elevated bilirubin levels in breastfed babies.
