The World Health Organization points out that while phototherapy is an effective treatment for moderately severe jaundice it may have negative consequences for breastfeeding and the relationship between the mother and her baby. In their paper on postpartum care of the mother and newborn, they emphasize that interventions aimed at lowering serum bilirubin values are performed too often in term infants. They state “It has never been proven that bilirubin values <340 µmol/l are harmful for term infants not suffering from hemolytic disease.” They emphasize that the use of phototherapy for neonatal jaundice in healthy term babies on the third or later days after birth, for bilirubin values <300 µmol/L is a practice which is clearly harmful or ineffective and should be eliminated.
