Genetic testing for Gilbert's Syndrome should be considered for infants with prolonged jaundice and positive family history. Interruption or cessation of breastfeeding are not evidence-based recommendations, and current guidelines do not support these practices. Lactation professionals play a critical role in the management of breastfeeding for preterm infants with prolonged jaundice and should refer to specialists to rule out pathologic etiologies.
