In the hospital we had to supplement some formula to try to help Thea's liver to fight the jaundice. We have it to her through a syringe and a tube while she breastfed at the same time. The only problem was she was getting it too fast so she wouldn't take just breast when we got home since it wouldn't come fast enough. My milk came in, so hoping we can still do this. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

You can always put her in the light or the sunshine

She doesn't need that. It's down.

@bigsisfinallymommy, if it’s not completely gone she will need the light till then, day light that is

You definitely can!!! I had to supplement formula for the first week because my girl had the exact same problem! We never needed lights(but we were so close!!) Once her jaundice levels went down I stopped supplementing and she has been ebf for about a month now! I was scared I wasn't going to be able to breastfeed after having to supplement but I just kept at it and it worked out!! Good luck momma!

Oh, thank you! That's extremely encouraging.
