We're doing better. I've calmed down and talked to the doctors. If everything goes good he'll get released tomorrow. I am having to breastfeed and supplement with formula so he doesn't get dehydrated.

That happened with my youngest son...he had to stay one extra night but it all cleared up.  As long as he clears up he will be ok...they will check him again at his 1 week appointment.

Jaundice occurs when bilirubin builds up faster than baby's liver can break it down.  It's not uncommon.  Treatment usually involves some time under "bili lights" (phototherapy).

They came in a few minutes ago and put him under the bili lite. It's like a tanning bed. I am so distraut. I was really looking forward to taking my baby home today.
