My daughter spent three nights in an incubator at six days old. Her bilirubin levels were so bad we were a direct admit to pediatric unit. Scariest three nights of my life and later learned it could’ve gotten much worse. Though we learned a lot and had our family doctor not been out of town, she probably wouldn’t have went home. Bilirubin levels are normal between 8-12 for newborns I think. She was over 12 when she was discharged after birth, 15 two days later, 21 the day she was admitted. This lead to eating issues, weight issues, and body temperature issues. I pray that no parent ever has to see their child in an incubator.
