Bilirubin

Molly

I’ve had to bring my newborn everyday since she was 3 days old to have her blood taken from her foot for her bilirubin. Shes 6 days old today and we’re on the way yet again. The doctor is hopeful it will start trending down today but I’m so nervous. And so sore and just exhausted from spending everyday in a doctors office and hospital.

Her level was 13.5 Thursday, 15.8 Friday, 17 yesterday. If it gets to 20, they do the light therapy. Please tell me your baby’s started going down and the visits stopped 😩
