Is there access to a Bilibed for the baby who is jaundiced?  I have had
such great results with it - babies are much more alert than under the
phototherapy lights and the jaundice reduces so quickly.

That is,  assuming that phototherapy is needed - having had 3 very orange
children (full term).  My evaluation for healthy full-term babies is : if
they are eating often, pooping often and alert, they probably don't need
treatment.  Of course any other behaviors and I'd refer them to their ped.
