Giving phenobarbitone is not the practice in western countries. It is likely to be related to breast feeding if the conjugated bilirubin is below 10%.
You do not need to stop breast feeding as it does not cause harm.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Let the paediatrician do what he is best at doing.
Do not worry.
Im sure the paediatrician knows what he is best at doing.
But if you have not consulted a pediatrician, you would need to consult him.
You stay calm. Your child will be alright.
Best regards.
