My first born was born with jaundice and it was terrible. A lot of babies get rid of it in days but he had to deal with it for a month. We stayed in the hospital for 5 days. He had to stay under the light. After releasing him to go home he had to go home with the light and was told to have him on it 24/7 by a window with sunlight and take him for a walk to times a day because sun helps break down the bilirubin. He had to go see a doctor literally every day because it was so bad but eventually it broke down and now he's two weeks away from being 3 :) & healthy but most scariest thing in my life to see because it was so bad.

My second son was born with jaundice. After i woke up from my csection and they brought my baby to my room they told me he had that and they told me they had to put him under a blue uv light and at first i was scared. But they said it wasnt that serious they kept oncoming in the room to take blood out from his foot to check.if the light was working. I was in the hospital for 4 days. When the day came to go home they told me he had to stay in the hospital that day. It broke my heart i didnt wan to leave my husband had to literally drag me out of the hospital and i still had my stitches on. We finally left and the next morning i woke up really early and left to the hospital. We got there and they told me he got better and that we could take him home thank god. They told me to try to put him under the sun early in the morning with just a diper on every day until i took him to his first check up. Thank god he is a healthy beautiful chubby 2 year old ...
