Lasted about a month for us. Jaundice is pretty common in newborn.. For us, baby got to come home with us. However during her 1 week check up, her jaundice readings were still high so doctor gave us two options: 1. Admit her in for phototherapy in the hospital. 2. Rent the Biliblanket for 2 days. We went with option 2, as we want her to be home with us, so breastfeeding could be easier as well. What we had to do was to keep her in the blanket for most of the day even when sleeping. It is a portable phototherapy.. Depending on the jaundice levels, doctor will recommend best approach. Dont worry! :)
