There is a lot of pressure in bfing moms to supplement when their babies are diagnosed with jaundice. I had the same thing happen to me too, where my paeditrician wanted me to pump one breast to test how much milk I was producing as he said that if I didn't have enough, I would have to consider supplementing. Luckily I had enough so we didn't have to explore that route but doctors/hospitals do tend to worry about jaundiced babies not gaining enough weight - and I guess one quick-fix way is to fatten them with formula.
