@isabellesmomma212, that's scary.... I'm going to have to double check with my husband tomorrow to see what his last number is at.... I have a window right above my bed so we open the blinds, lay our baby on the bed and let the sun shine.

@alexislopez, ha sorry. we ended up not going and his temperature came down, thankfully. I don't really wanna fall asleep tonight. I'm just nervous something will happen...

Awh poor baby, it does make the baby sluggish and off. I sure will! He will be okay mama, it's impossible but try not to stress yourself out, you have to be in good shape too to help your baby out. Let me know how things go. 😘

@alexislopez, please pray for my baby... the belly bed raised my son's temperature to 98 degrees and his pediatrician said to take him to the hospital... plus he was laying in my arms just laying there staring at me with really deep breathing.. he just looks kind of off..

I did

My daughter had that too. I had a small break down over it because we had to stay in the hospital too. I believe for three days we had to stay because I was struggling to feed her due to my huge breasts. And my doctor told me that 25 and higher is when the baby can develop brain damage. My little one got to 17. After three days and two nights on the lights we were able to return home with no problems. A good thing to remember is even after your little is off the light is to expose them to natural sun light more then you usually do. Like let them nap in front of a window. 😊😊

Yes wake him to eat! Nurse as much as you can! Don't let your doctor freak you out. It will cause brain damage if you were to do nothing about it and go about your day. It does take awhile but it will pass. He's much taken care of with that blanket and nursing. It's just a scary thing to see. There is other precautions they can do if the levels don't go down so don't worry. I was a mess in the hospital so I asked tons of questions!

@abeals04, ^^^

@alexislopez, are you supposed to wake them up to eat??

@mamesey, so do i

@alexislopez, my husband and I are both just a little nervous and sad seeing him this way. poor baby makes me wanna cry every time I looks at him. that definitely gives me hope that his numbers will go down by tomorrow.

@nanifice really? ours never gave us a number he just said if his whole body turns yellow then it'll cause brain damage

Poor little guy. Hoping he gets better

My baby had to be like this 😕 it was so scary! Lucky it didn't to past 15 because his Dr told me 16 and up can cause brain damage.

He had to been in his machine that had the lights on him 24/7 so we stayed the night with him in the hospital and I took him out only to feed him every two hours and change his diaper then he had to go right back in. I was an emotional wreck the beginning of the night bc I just hated seeing him like that but throughout the night I was fine, I knew the lights were helping. The more he eats the more he will have dirty diapers so it passes. With feedings and the lights, his levels went down from 22 to like 13 in 24 hours and we were able to take him home so I continued to feed a lot. He's perfectly healthy now mama! So don't worry, continue to do what you are doing 😊

@alexislopez, you had to do it at the hospital? wow. what was that like? yeah it is hard seeing him like this, but I am really glad he can stay home and be with us. my baby boy was at a 8, then 13 and now in the 20s. I'm feeding him every couple hours. does it make it go away quicker when you do both of them?

That's so cool you can do it at home. My son had to be in the machine at the hospital. It will pass mama, it just sucks seeing your little baby like that. Just keep nursing and it will go away. My son's level was at 22, the lights help so much!

Best of luck

@abeals04, oh wow! yeah they said the bed will help a lot and with him eating and pooping and urinating will help flush it. we usually feed every 2 hours

My son had it on from Friday night till Monday morning we feed every hour i dont know if they told you that it will help it go down
