Sunbathing.....

Our poor little baby has to sunbathe naked for two sessions of 3 days 2 nights, because of his bilirubin levels.  :(  Poor thing.

sunbathing 24/7 is no fun....

we managed to get him to sleep well, on his tummy, in the daytime
We did the phototherapy once we reached home on 19 March, for 4 days, since the phototherapy machine broke down on the first night.  I was super annoyed by the Baby Specialist, as the guy who came to set up the machine and the second uncle who came to replace the machine on the second day, set up the machine at different heights above the playpen.  Hmmm...do they know what they are doing?!?!

We went back to the PD one week later on 24 March and :( baby J's bilirubin levels are still not ideal and we had to continue the phototherapy treatment.  Oh well...at least, he weighed 3.59kg on day 8.  And finally, when we returned to the PD on 27 March, his bilirubin levels had dropped.  Not fantastic...but at least it was on a downward trend.  And he weighed 3.68kg on day 11.  Eating well....
