Aha!  "Sandeep".  The baby has at least one Indian parent.  I would just
like to point out that almost every other racial group tends to have
higher bilirubin levels for longer periods of time while breastfeeding
than caucasian babies.  But who makes the rules?  In Toronto, with its
very multicultural population, Asian babies are always being taken off
breast to make their bilirubins:

1. more like a formula fed baby's
2. more like a caucasian baby's
