Reply to comment by FwibbFwibb in 8 out of 10 preterm babies suffer newborn jaundice. Therapy involves exposing the baby to blue light, however, there are no standard guidelines on the precise color of light, irradiation power and duration. Scientists suggest fluorescence measurement will improve jaundice testing and therapy. by Skoltech_

I should have included that they were born in Nebraska the first part of December.

They were born in Hastings, Nebraska during December. You didn't have all the information you needed, and I apologize for that.

With my recent experiments in solar cooking, I know there is not a relationship with the air temperature and the solar light frequencies needed for this treatment. I was able to easily cook scrambled eggs in an iron pan when the outside temperature was around 36 degrees Farenheit.

What was wrong with the "prescription" given to my mother to place my twin brothers (born with jaundice in 1954) in the sun for a few days. The condition was cured and they both have lived normal lives.
