    My dad has Gilberts Syndrome. He goes yellow when he is tired etc. Is basically jaundice for grown ups I think.
    I guess seeing as your DFD's daughter is still a baby, then she is having trouble breaking down the bilirubin, just like newborns who are jaundice.
    It's more common in breastfed babies I believe.
    But good that the dr is doing tests to rule out other liver problems.

    well so far all her tests have come back normal although she now has bronchiolitis and an area of infection in one lung.
