You don't have enough information to know if the parents and midwife were wrong. The article doesn't state the intended treatment method. Only that the doctor demanded the baby be taken to the ER.
You know that urgent care is required by most insurance. By that thought, the baby could have gotten the correct care needed without going to the ER. ( Rx from a different source then demanded) And, be monitored by the midwife rather than the doctor / hospital.
The paperwork error proves they knew they were wrong. They filed the paperwork with the wrong name to flag the file. Prompting the instant removal of the baby. This was bullying. Not allowing a second opinion.
Also you can play this game in reverse to get faster treatment in the ER. Simply check in and tell them that you just got back from traveling to an African country that has an active outbreak of certain diseases.
Edit :
They filed the paperwork using the father as, "alleged father". Meaning this baby was taken away with intentional incorrect paperwork. Now getting the baby back is intentionally difficult.

Sorry but no. High bilirubin means the child had liver problems and such needs rapid treatment or it will lead to kidney failure. No amount of peasant attempts to treat it at home by themselves override the need to put the kid on appropriate drugs and further testing to find the source of the problem. It could be liver damage from birth, virus or bacterial infection. Whatever the cause, home remedies are totally wrong approach.
Wrong. The Midwife was properly credentialed, and had the correct equipment. In the links i provided, I have experience with a baby having jaundice due to Rhesus syndrom. That's where the mother is Rh neg, and the baby is Rh pos. My son was under lights I would describe as specialized in the same manner as plant lights are specialized, and was given extra fluids to help flush his system faster.
Your example is also listed in the links provided, and in the UK THE MIDWIFE is also equipped to correct the ailment. You're intentionally using home remedies as if these parents were using onions or garlic. They were using their CREDENTIALED midwife.
You also completely ignored the fact that the doctor who called cps NEVER laid eyes on the baby. A nurse practitioner in the same practice say the baby. I think this could cause them both to lose their license. The paperwork is such a mess that neither actual parent is listed on the paperwork removing the baby from the home.
You clearly didn't review the information I added just for you. Heads up. I tend to read multiple articles on the same topic.
