Congratulations!!! Now what? Well
here are some things to expect from baby in the first month of
life. Some of these things may or may not happen with your
baby. All babies are different, so don't be concerned if they
do not happen to your baby, in fact your life may be easier if
you don't have to go through them.
Jaundice- The yellowing of baby due to an increased amount of
bili reuben in the blood. Usually this will disappear within
about two weeks or 14 days. In some cases especially in
premature babies, babies need to be treated and stay under a
special bili rueben light until bili Reuben levels return to
normal. Jaundice is more common in boys and in babies that are
premature, jaundice is nothing to be to concerned about, your Dr
will let you know if baby needs treatment or not.
