Oops, Mary, I see you did a test weight and the intake was only 31 grams or 
about an ounce (right?). You did good! I would say that everything is 
probably from the baby being too sleepy, with not quite right latch on, and 
probably little active sucking in the first few days. I say this because of 
the jaundice, the weight loss, and the poor intake at the breast. A baby who 
is actively sucking will remove this much in about 15 minutes (ESTIMATED). 
Babies who are sliding downward from poor intake are often too sleepy with 
weak sucking. Some kind of supplementing was needed at the time you saw her, 
which you recommended.
