A randomized study of phototherapy for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The intervention group is treated with a double pad fiber optic device and the control group with conventional blue ligt phototherapy from above. Both treatments are well known and used. The primary outcome is to explore the parents experience with the two different treatment modalities by questionnaires.
