New to the board
Hi Everyone. I am crossing over from the pregnancy board. My sweet little boy arrived 3 weeks early. Brady William was 6 lbs 15 oz and 20 inches. The only problem that we have is that he has developed a fairly bad case of jaundice. We have to keep him on the UV blanket for a few days. Has anyone had to do this? TIA

First, WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME.
My 1st son went through the whole jaundice issue. We were actaully hospitalized 2x for it because his levels skyrocketed. He went from 20 to 27 in 4 hours and 20 was a very dangerous level to begin with. Once we got him under the lights and used the blanket everything returned to normal.
I now have a very active 4 1/2 yr old who is actually killing me, his father sister and baby brother tonight!!! He won't stop jumping everywhere!!!!

Congrats and welcome!!!!!!!
DS was borderline jaundice, but never had to go on the blanket. They just tested him everyday. I've heard it clears quickly with the blanket and lots of feedings!

Hi, welcome and congrats!
My DD was 3 weeks early. DD was under the lights for 3 days and whenever I took her out of the incubator, I had to use the UV blanket. Now she is 15 months and a ball of energy. I'm sure you can look forward to the same!
