Is it true that formula feeding causes jaundice in healthy newborn babies more than breastfeeding does?

No. A peer-reviewed study of healthy newborns found breast-fed infants had substantially higher serum bilirubin levels and a higher rate of hyperbilirubinemia than formula-fed infants, and CDC guidance indicates most jaundiced newborns can continue breastfeeding. This evidence points against the claim that formula feeding causes jaundice more than breastfeeding.
