Your right Kaylar I am going to throttle you. You should not put Vicks vapor rub on your baby and add layering. It says on the container to let the skin breath after you apply - not smother it. Another thing about a fever - it is a wives tale that you bundle a fever. You actually want to let the air get to the skin to let your body cool off. The best remedy for a fever is to mist the body and let it air dry. Best of luck with your baby and it will just take time. Yellowing of the skin is jaundice. Jaundice is very common in a lot of newborn infants. The natural way to handle jaundice is to put your child by the window with natural sunlight. In the hospital they will put your baby under the "Billi" lights.

Another thought : You could run a humidifier in your infants room or have the baby sleep by you in a bassinett and use the suction bulb constantly. Good luck.
