Well, at least you did your part in telling her. If she doesn't want to the there's nothing anyone can do about it.

I think those don't require masks. Both of my boys were in an incubator with lights above and behind them which required the mask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-are-babys-eyes-always-supposed-to-be-covered-under-the-bilirubin-light#post-443844 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 20:10:58 +0000 mrbee 443844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: some people put a lot of faith in what professionals say!

She's sticking to her guns and says the nurse called them "optional".<br /> I am going to stop interfering at this point. But to me, if something is optional for my newborn's health, then I'll do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-are-babys-eyes-always-supposed-to-be-covered-under-the-bilirubin-light#post-443808 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 19:51:03 +0000 Mrs. Bee 443808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i couldn't sleep because charlie's mask kept moving around and i adjusted it all night long. i was afraid he'd go blind!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-are-babys-eyes-always-supposed-to-be-covered-under-the-bilirubin-light#post-443800 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 19:48:21 +0000 prettylizy 443800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen a baby under the lights without those badass goggles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-are-babys-eyes-always-supposed-to-be-covered-under-the-bilirubin-light#post-443786 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 19:38:46 +0000 mrbee 443786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: This web page quotes various sources on the subject:</p> <p><a href="http://www.mywoowoo.com/DonnaAnnFox/phototherapy_to_treat_jaundice/sources.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mywoowoo.com/DonnaAnnFox/phototherapy_to_treat_jaundice/sources.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-are-babys-eyes-always-supposed-to-be-covered-under-the-bilirubin-light#post-443779 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 19:31:45 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 443779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend just texted me a picture of her baby and she was under the light without a mask....her baby is at home.<br /> She said the mask is optional?
