Hi...greetings from XXXXXXX

I would like to know certain things.

1. What is the birth weight?
2. Is it normal delivery or caesarean?
3. Did the baby cry immediately after birth?
4. What is your blood group and what is the baby's blood group?
5. Are they giving single surface phototherapy or double surface?
6. Can you upload the bilirubin report - I need to see if direct is raised or indirect is raised?
