Has anyone experienced HDN (hemolytic disease of the newborn) / rhesus disease?

Firstly apologies if pregnancy isn't the best place to post this.

I have anti c antibodies which are rising and my baby is at moderate risk of this disease, which could be rising to high risk. Has anyone been through it? I'm just wondering what I'm looking at here e.g. how long was your hospital stay? How was your baby?

We have. Rhesus negative related.
We are 7th day in hospital, on the third phototherapy treatment for rebounding jaundice. Obit rebound very quickly, 5mol per hour.

To update, we had in total five rounds of phototherapy and red blood cell infusion with rhesus negative donor red blood cells. We finally got discharged after two weeks in hospital. He eventually became limp and didn’t feed due to anaemia, so doctors suggested an infusion. That changed the whole situation rapidly, even during infusion he was becoming more alert, and the day after he was a different , normal baby again.
I’m writing this 9 days after the discharge, he has gained 500 grams, is a happy, alert, active, responsive baby, who loves his milk.
