It depends on cause of jaundice. Even then I prefer to avoid breastfeeding. Your baby is 8 months now. You must have starred dairy milk besides cereals. you may give 1 or2 meals/ dairy milk more to compensate breast milk.

Hello. Sorry to hear about your health ailment. You need to be specific in which type of hepatitis virus you are infected with .If its A or D or E you can definitely breastfeed. If its B virus then also you can breastfeed since child must be vaccinated against that virus by now. So don't worry and continue breastfeefing.
