You can rent the machine from http://thebabyspecialist.com.sg/products/medela-bilibed-home-phototherapy-package/ It costs $359/3d2n according to the website. It is definitely cheaper than letting baby to stay in hospital for the treatment. Another benefit is you can stay close to baby and breastfeed baby at home. However, one tricky thing is you need to be very disciplined as some people might keep bringing the baby out from the bed half way of the treatment.
