Bryce came home from the hospital with a bit of jaundice so we were instructed to have him exposed to sunlight. We hoped that that would be enough, but his bilirubin count continued to rise after we got home. The doctor decided he needed some additional treatment and prescribed 24 hours on the bilirubin phototherapy light. :)
It was kind of cute how he "glowed in the dark" for a night. It was kind of a pain because he had to be on it as much as possible - so pretty much we only took it off for diaper changes. The rest of the time he seemed as though he had a tail. The light wand was really thin and fit under his onsie...thank God he only had to stay on it for a day and his jaundice went away pretty quickly.
On a positive note, we were able to get some extra snuggles in - I didn't want him to get all wrapped up in the (really short) chord after all!
