  • no but good luck my friend's daughter had it but it quickly got better they suggested she go outside in the sun
  • Oh really hmm maybe ill taje him outside tommoro thanks :)
  • Yea the sun works too..my son had to be under the light.your suposed to check his temp every few hrs and only take him out for feeding.the longer he stays in there the quicker he will get better and bf helps Alot! Good luck hun!
  • My daughter had it until just recently and she is 2 weeks old. They told me sunlight and it worked foe is. Not necessarily having to go outside bit even just putting them by a window works.
