Look Ma! Snug like a bug in my own little cot..

Phototherapy is the most common treatment for reducing high bilirubin levels that cause jaundice in a newborn.

In the standard form of phototherapy, your baby lies in a bassinet or enclosed plastic crib (incubator) in hospital and is exposed to a type of fluorescent light that is absorbed by your baby's skin.

During this process, the bilirubin in the baby's body is changed into another form that can be more easily excreted in the stool and urine.

Staying in the hospital to treat your babies jaundice can be additionally stressful for you and can prove expensive.
A baby with jaundice may need to stay under a phototherapy light for several days, so what's better than having an experienced post-natal nursing sister, provide the same (if not better!) service for you in the comfort of you own home.

Sister Dot provides the Bilibed, washable and snugly bilicombis, daily bilirubin blood tests, breastfeeding and general advice as well as all the love and care the new parents require.

The snug and comfy Bilicombi - This therapy blanket keeps infants warm and secure over the therapeutic light.
