3 week old still has jaundice!

[AdriansMama]

I really hope so !! I was so worried when my dr called and said he should be at 22 but was at 152 I was thinking "omg how am i not having to rush him into hospital to be treated ?!?" And then my dr couldnt really answer any of my questions and made me feel like the whole situation was strange which obviously freaked me out when a dr cant even explain to me why all of this is going on lol im really hoping the pediatrician has seen this before and is more knowledgeable about everything. Between blood glucose test in the high risk nursery and bilirubin blood tests my poor little monkey's little heels are all scarred

At 4 weeks old my daughter had levels of 200 odd. Corrected age was 39 weeks. She had been discharged then. She looked 'tanned' for months.

That sounds like Jaxton ! 4 weeks old 39 weeks adjusted. Its nice to hear of so many other who were in similar situations and all turned out ok

Everything with Jaxton is perfect!! He weighs 9 lbs 6 oz and is thriving the official diagnosis is breast milk jaundice and very mild breast milk jaundice at that ! He doesnt even need repeat bloodwork. I feel so much better now
