How am I supposed to go two days without holding my baby??? I hate that she's got jaundice so much :(

Aww my son had too bring that home it sucked so bad... 3 of my kids had jaundice

She's gorgeous!

@camillesmom, thank you :) it breaks my heart to not be able to hold her...she's only a week old.

she is soooo beautiful!!! what is jaundice & why are her feet so swollen 😢😢😢 @tonyajo92

@kiicarnelly, thank you :) jaundice is what yellows their skin and the whites of their eyes. It's caused by baby having an excess of bilirubin in their liver and the more they have the worse it is. That's a lot of the reason why a baby gets vitamin K shots at birth. Her feet are like that because of how she was in utero lol. She didn't have any room left and they stayed tucked against her legs. She's also had to have her heel pricked 3 times to check her bilirubin levels since she's been born so her feet are probably bruised.

I'm sure it does! Just know you will soon, and just don't let go! It will be a joy when you do! Do you know when you can take her home

noooo poor baby 😢😢😢😢... I couldn't take that... did you get to do any skin to skin.... or kiss her or anything😢😢 @tonyajo92

My baby had that too, but I didn't get a blanket she was in the hospital for two days in the bed. It was awful. But it gets better!!

@camillesmom, we are actually at home. There is a service out here that delivers the blankets and you can use them until the baby gets better then return them. @kiicarnelly she's a week old so I've been able to hold her since she was born. They just brought me the blanket today and she has to be on it for 2 days.

Oh cool well that's good then! It must be hard to just not pick her up though since your at home, I feel your pain!

It's very hard @camillesmom I breastfeed and i can't even hold her for that

awww atleast there are pumps for that though so she can still get the good stuff!

@camillesmom, I'm just hoping it doesn't cause nipple confusion and she won't decide she won't breastfeed anymore.

Well good news is if it does, you can keep pumping, but don't give up!
