We mentioned this to the nurses and our pediatrician and they switched her to Enfamil Gentlease which didn't help much. Late Monday morning, the nurse came in and said if she didn't start eating they were going to probably want to keep her overnight to monitor her.
Of course, this was really upsetting to me so Tom convinced me to take a shower and when I came out - he managed to get about 20 ml of formula in her without her spitting up! Woo-hoo! They did run the extra jaundice test (which was a little high - and probably the cause of her not eating) and then after talking to our doctor sent us home after we set up an appointment to take her to the doctor the next day to see how her jaundice was.
When we left the hospital Grace was down to 7 lb. 1 oz. and when we took her to the doctor on Tuesday, she had gained back 1/2 oz AND her jaundice was low risk. Thank goodness.....now if I could just get her to sleep some during the night we would be great. :)

Whew, I'm glad she's doing better and not spitting up as much. Jaundice sucks.
