Neonatal Jaundice is a clinical condition characterized by the yellow coloration of the skin and the sclera as the result of the accumulation of uconjugated hyperbilirubin level in the newborns’ blood. Jaundice clinically appears in the newborns when the level of bilirubin in the blood ranges from 5-7 mg/dl. Bilirubin in neonate is two to three times higher than the normal adult, because the number of erythrocytes in neonate is higher and the age is shorter. About 50% of full term and 75% of preterm newborns suffer from jaundice. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in the disappearance of jaundice in neonates on exclusive breast-feeding and non-exclusive breast-feeding. This study was observational, cross sectional design, while the population was mothers of newborns with physiological jaundice as many as 60 people, 56 of whom were chosen as the samples. Accidental sampling was applied and the measuring instruments used questionnaire and observation sheet. The results showed that the first emergence of physiological jaundice to neonates on exclusive breast-feeding was averagely 2.65 days and averagely 2.70 days to neonates on non-exclusive breast-feeding. The disappearance of physiological jaundice to neonates on exclusive breast-feeding took about 5.77 days and to neonates on non-exclusive breastfeeding took about 7.90 days. The result of the t-test showed that the p value was 0.000 (ρ=0,000), meaning that the physiological jaundice to neonates on exclusive breast-feeding disappeared faster than neonates on non-exclusive breast-feeding. Thus the mother should be encouraged to breast-feed frequently. The newborns should be exclusively breast-fed with no top feeds, water, or dextrose water, as the protein in breast-feeding can coat the intestinal mucosa, so the liver of the baby will be mature enough to get rid of bilirubin in the bloodstream.
