Jaundice
I forgot to mention that Pierce's jaundice is "breast milk jaundice" which is why he still has it after a month. His bilirubin level is 9.9 mg.

Everything I've read on the internet also says that this isn't necessary at all, but I'm doing it anyway. They say it's not necessary because it could cause problems with breastfeeding, but Pierce has had bottles before and it didn't mess him up. Here's the baby boy at 1 month old....
