Under the bili light
This is what we saw when we arrived at the hospital a few days ago. Camilla was jaundiced, so she needed to spend some time under a special phototherapy light to help her body process a chemical called bilirubin. Preemies' livers have a hard time dealing with bilirubin, so the sight of babies under this blue light is a common one in the NICU.
