n=52 Participants
Children will receive Omegaven at a maximum of 1 g/kg/day upon enrollment in this arm. Omegaven: Once the direct bilirubin is 2 mg/dL or more x 2 weeks, Intralipid will be switched to Omegaven at 1 g/kg/day. The bilirubin level will be monitored to determine when resolution of cholestasis (DB \<2 mg/dL) occurs.
