Yes, it is safe to continue breastfeeding your 14-month-old baby even though you've been diagnosed with jaundice and are taking Liv 52 and Udibon 150.
These medications are generally considered safe during lactation, and the amount excreted into breast milk is minimal and not harmful to the baby.
Breastfeeding has many immune and nutritional benefits, even at 14 months, so there's no need to stop unless advised for a specific medical reason.
Next Steps
If you develop symptoms like excessive fatigue, worsening liver function, or if your doctor advises otherwise based on your specific condition, follow up accordingly. But based on current information, breastfeeding can safely continue.

Yes, it is safe to continue breastfeeding your 14-month-old baby even though you have jaundice and are taking Liv 52 and Udibon 150.
Liv 52 (herbal) and Udibon 150 (ursodeoxycholic acid) are both safe during breastfeeding, with minimal secretion into breast milk and no known harm to the baby.
Jaundice in adults is not transmitted through breast milk, especially if it’s due to liver dysfunction and not an infectious cause like hepatitis.
Breastfeeding at 14 months still provides immune and nutritional benefits, so no need to stop unless your treating doctor specifically advises.
👉 Exception: If jaundice is due to Hepatitis B/C, baby’s vaccination status should be reviewed, though breastfeeding is still usually allowed.
Next Steps
Continue breastfeeding, monitor your health, and follow up if symptoms worsen.
