We took Malias to the hospital the day after we came home to get his bilirubin levels checked again and unfortunately it had gone up quite a bit. So, we have had to put him in a bili bed as well as use a bili blanket 24 hours a day (except for feeding and changing) for the last couple days.
It was really hard to put him in it the first day because he is only supposed to wear a diaper and most newborns like to be swaddled. Therefore he cried the hardest he has yet...which also made me cry.... I just can't wait until he can be done with it and we can dress him and hold him when we want. He will get checked again tomorrow morning and Hopefully its gone down enough that he can be done.
Luckily he IS a great baby and after the couple of hard times in the begining, he has been an angel. Now most of the time just goes right to sleep when we put him in the bed and he hardley fusses, which I am so thankful for because it makes it much easier.
Here he is in his little suit case bili bed. We had to put socks on him because he was getting too cold.
Sweet little boy

Poor little guy!! That is so hard! My sister's youngest had to be in the "suitcase" for a couple of days too! It will be over soon! Hang in there!
aww poor little guy.. that's good he just sleeps now though. he sure is precious.
I can't get over how cute he is... I understand the trouble, Adam wouldn't stop wiggling in his and it drove me crazy
I hope he gets out of there soon! He's so cute, and such a brave little guy!
