After our first visit to the pediatrician, we found out Maggie was jaundice. She ordered us to have photo therapy where they brought special lights to the house. We had to monitor Maggie for about 16 hours straight and keep vigil to make sure her special sunglasses stayed on her head. The levels returned to normal the next day and we were cleared of the light therapy. More than half of all babies are jaundice when they are born. It usually clears up, but in some cases special lights are brought in to assist it and clear it up.
