Jaundice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaundice)
The damn thing that effects (or is it affects) a ton of newborns struck our little C. Poor guy got up to 20.1, it required the intervention of the Billi-blanket, which either made him look radioactive or like a glow-worm. He was on the blanket (which isn't really what it is see here: http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/wha/umbili.htm) for 4 days, then we got to do some naked sun bathing :-)
By the time we got to the two week check up, his weight was 7 pounds 2.5 ounces and the jaundice was gone. Dr. Schneider was very pleased!
