I have a friend not on LACTNET who is struggling with some of the health professionals at her hospital (a university hospital, no less). She has been able to educate the staff, somewhat, on BFing and jaundice, only to start seeing a new reason for hospital admissions of BFing newborns. From what she's been seeing, BFing infants are being admitted with bili levels of 17 or 18. When she begins to ask questions about it, she is told they are not being hospitalized for the bili levels, but because the baby's specific gravity is high showing that the baby is dehydrated and in need of hospitalization. She has not been able to find any info on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Debbie McClurg-Hitt
