Has anyone gone through phototherapy for their baby's jaundice? How long did it take and did they have to put in an IV…

How bad is the jaundice? You can sometimes take a blanket home if its that bad. I dont think they iv but probably foot monitor or something.

I did my daughter had the light above and beneath her. They also gave her an iv to flush the billy Rubin out. She was under the light for 16 hrs and then I had to continue to get her blood tested for a week after!

My little one is under the uv light and they told me the iv is put in because it can dry them out so it's like them getting constant liquids esp if they're not feeding good

@kambam, It was a 15.5 yesterday and today it was 14.2 🙏🏻❤

Thank you guys for the info. Really appreciate it. Thankfully our little girl is doing better ❤

Breastmilk and sunshine ❤

@kambam, doctor told us formula. So we're using both formula and breast milk

Why formula just curious?

@kambam, we use the yellow infant one.

Why did doc tell you formula? Sorry. Are you going to breastfeed?
