Jaundice Jaundice Jaundice

Okay....... I wish I could post some pictures, but unfortunately we lost our battery charger to the camera. Hopefully we will get a new one soon so you can all see how big our baby is getting. She had a doctor appointment on the 8th. She weighed 7.7 and was 20 1/2 inches long! The doctor thought she still looked really yellow so we checked her billi count. It had gone up. The doc said she had breast milk jaundice, and it could last for a couple of months. He wanted to see her levels go down so he thought it would be a good idea to feed her formula for 2 days, then check her count again......... We got good news! It had gone down. But just to make sure it would keep going down, we checked it again a few days later........... and got bad news. It went back up. She is now on the lights again and we will check her in a few days. The doc isn't worried about it. He thinks it's just a matter of time before her system kicks in and flushes it out. He's thinking that it will just all of the sudden go away. But he told me he would do some research to see if there is any other test that we should run just to make sure that nothing else is contributing to the jaundice. She had her thyroid checked last week, and that is just fine. We are hoping all she needs is time. I will keep you updated. I'll try and get some pictures on here next time!
