Wesley and the Bili bed

This bed is such a pain to put up with. I was up constantly checking on him because as you can see the cover gets so close to his face. I was always scared that he would cover his face and he couldn't breath. he would constantly wiggle his way out of it. He is my Wiggle Worm. Friday we got a call from the dr that his levels went down to 10.3. We had to keep him on the bed the rest of the day and the weekend we could give him a break. Monday morning we go back in and check to see if the levels went down anymore or back up. Then we see what we do from there. I am still having to supplement. This is a struggle because now I am fighting with him to take my breast. The bottle is instant milk and the breast take a little time. So I am pumping more and putting in the bottle which is a pain. Trying to keep up with everything since he eats every 2 hours.

His weight is finally going back up. I was getting worried for a while because the hospital told me don't let him get down 7% and he was down 10%. So as a mom I know how important it is to keep that weight going up to keep him healthy. It is harder with the jaundice but we went up another ounce on Friday. I am praying that Monday he goes up a whole lot more so I stop worrying about it. Friday he weighed 5.6 oz.
