Newborn Jaundice
Jaundice is a common condition found in newborn babies,affecting up to 60% of babies in the first week of life.It occurs when there is a buildup of bilirubin, a yellow pigment that is formed when red blood cells are broken down,in the baby’s blood.This can lead to a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.
Newborn jaundice is usually not a cause for concern and will typically resolve on its own within a few weeks.However,in some cases, it can lead to more serious complications if left untreated.
It is important for parents to be aware of the signs and symptoms of newborn jaundice,such as yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes,poor feeding,lethargy,and dark urine.If you notice any of these symptoms in your newborn,it is important to seek medical attention from a pediatrician.
