Heheh, my therapist/pnurse ...but I prefer to call her a Purse LOL

I think I am only mildly depressed really, because I am functional. It's not the depression where all I can do is cry and be all agitated.

The jaundice resolved on it's own after about a week. I doubt there was any real damage done. But jaundiced babies don't eat well. She became so dehydrated that she was peeing crystals. You treat jaundice before it gets to the level where it can hurt the kidneys and brain... I was so dead tired after days of no sleep at all that the normal pattern of breastfeeding pretty much toasted my mood. Apparently the philosophy of the breastfeeding center at my work is that all breastfed babies will be jaundiced so they don't bother to test. GRRRRRRRRRRR.
