Pat in SNJ says, <<I will try and dig up the reference, but I specifically remember that baby boys are more prone to increased jaundice. It's on one of my overheads. >> Pat, do you suppose it is because baby boys tend to be slower at figuring out the whole nursing thing, or is it by virtue of the fact that they are boys? I honestly don't remember this -- though I do know that boys tend to have more problems in general (more prone to tongue tie, pyloric stenosis, etc). Wonder why???
