Kaily is now over 36 hours old... She is doing well by keeping us up at night and sleeping during the day. We are trying to break the habit, but she is stubborn like her daddy.
She has been diagnosed with jaundice:
Newborn jaundice is a condition marked by high levels of bilirubin in the blood. The increased bilirubin cause the infant's skin and whites of the eyes (sclera) to look yellow.
Treatment is usually not necessary. Keep the baby well-hydrated with breast milk or formula. Frequent feedings encourage frequent bowel movements, which helps remove bilirubin through the stools. Sometimes special blue lights are used on infants whose levels are very high. This is called phototherapy. These lights work by helping to break down bilirubin in the skin.
At this point we sit and wait for the pediatrician to let us know what to do next. We have up'd the feedings but Kaily falls asleep on us and isnt pooping enough...RGH!
