Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 Congrats Michele, Jordan (and the rest of the clan!) Oh BTW, the Jaundice is NOT from breastfeeeding, it is from the Vitamin K shot (hyperbilirubinism is a side effect of the Vit K shot which is listed right in the shot's package insert, they just don't tell you that!), so glad you are both doing well - and give your other two guys a big hug from me too! *Hugs* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com nwmommb_michele wrote: > Thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 While this is 100% true, all 3 of my children were born at home and had jaundice. My aunt told me it was from breastfeeding too, but my midwife told me she was full of it. LOL (well, not in so many words ;-P ) She said breast milk is the best thing for jaundice. We don't know why my Babies get jaundice, since they don't get the shot at all.
