Abstract :Abstract Objective: Nutrition is important in the newborn period. Nutritional style of newborns with hyperbilirubinemia may be effective in their hospital stay. Aims: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the feeding styles of newborns diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia and the length of hospital stay. Methods: In this descriptive study, simple random sampling was used, and the sample group consisted of 110 newborns who applied to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and whose parents volunteered to participate in the study. Results: It was found that 56.4% of the newborns in the sample group were female and the postnatal age of 33.6% was above 72 hours. It was determined that 91.8% of the newborns had a negative Dc test, 55.5% received phototherapy treatment for 48 hours or less, 50.9% were discharged after 72 hours or less of hospitalization, 7.3% had Rh incompatibility, 9.1% had ABO incompatibility, 10.9% had a history of jaundice in a sibling, and 98.2% were transferred to the hospital from a different institution. A significant difference was found between the length of hospital stay of the newborns in the study group and the age of the mothers, neonatal breastfeeding and nutrition education status of the mothers, feeding style, Dc test, phototherapy treatment durations, Rh incompatibility of newborns, ABO incompatibility of newborns, total bilirubin level of the infants after 72 hours of hospitalization, and total bilirubin level 49-72 hours after discharge (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that prenatal breastfeeding and nutrition education provided by nurses for mothers increased breastfeeding rates and shortened the length of hospital stay in newborns with hyperbilirubinemiaKeywords : Yenidoğan, Beslenme, Hiperbilüribinemi
