Alli, sorry to hear about baby Jessica. my daughter had a little jaundice when she was born. She also slept ALL the time, through the night and didn't wake to eat. First time I thought of crib death and was scared stiff. She has always been rather quiet and sleeps alot. now as an adult, she still likes to sleep, is still relatively quiet. BUT she is mentally gifted. Nothing wrong with her brain. I will pray that your baby girl is just the same and the doctors are worried for nothing. I could tell you another story about how my neice was supposedly brain damaged, they did all these tests and SHE WAS ABSOLUTLY FINE. hang in there girl. We are all praying for JEssica.

Thanks Debbie The prayers mean a lot to us & they are helping her out. All 3 boys have been heavy sleepers w/small appetite. Gif was the only one out of the 3 that had the biggest appetite & he ate so much that at around 4-6 mos. old I added formula to his feedings & then shortly there after I started adding food also. LOL Daniel (the youngest) also had Jaundice & was forced to eat a lot (often) He should have been admitted but wasn't he was allowed to be taken care of at home. I'm sure they would have thought he should have been brain damaged too. But he picks up things fairly quickly. The boys are STILL hard to wake up before their ready. If they are allowed to sleep.....they are fine when they wake up LOL She's the same way, the Pediatrician is just eroding on the side of caution, which is fine......can't afford a lot of that LOL, but I'd rather be safe than sorry :) Alli > Alli, > > sorry to hear about baby Jessica. > > my daughter had a little jaundice when she was born.
