high bilirubin level of 17--worried
So my baby was born last Tuesday and was found to be jaundiced. His levels kept going up and when they hit 15 they placed him under the bili lights and had me supplement a little bit of formula after breastfeeding. I did and his levels hlwent down to 10. Right before he was discharged they went back to 11 or so. Today they checked them and they're at a 17. Tomorrow we get another lab drawn. Does any one know what I should do??

They had me bottle feed her for 24 hours and test again.. and they noticed a dip in count. I also placed her in the window seat necked for a few times that day.
