Could someone explain if there is a medical  device that could be put against 
a baby's skin and the bilirubin count given  by this device? I am only 
familiar with blood tests and a mother told me her  midwife did this test on 
the baby's  abdomen>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
 
Kathy, I know of a transcutaneous device used  on the baby's forehead.
