Poor little Dillo. I'm glad he's managing to stay under the treatment levels but it sounds stressful even so. Also, I'm so sorry to hear about the painful nursing. It seems like your body should somehow skip past the painful part given that you nursed Casper for over 2 years.
I'm curious - is there something special about formula that helps in cpmbating jaundice? Or maybe it's just that he needs milk sooner and your milk supply isn't adequate yet? You mentioned the formula yesterday and it got me wondering. The only baby I've ever known (well) that had jaundice was my brother but I was three then so I have no idea how they got rid of it.
I'll be thinking happy, sunshine-y, low billirubin thoughts for Dillo and quick-healing-nipple thoughts for you!
