Stephen under the Bili-lightsSo what do they do when your newborn has jaundice? They put them under bilirubin lights to help clear it out of their system. Stephen was a little yellow which is normal especially in premature babies so he had to spend some time under the lights.

I’d never heard of these, so it was a little bit of a shock to see your newly born baby under lights that I can only describe as looking like a tanning bed for kids. It looks more serious than it is, and very common from what I was told, which calmed me down. But at least the kid had good tunes to listen to as you can see in the picture. Luckily he was only in there for a little less than a day as his jaundice was leaving his system. Hopefully we get to go home tomorrow.
