Newborn jaundice

Alternative Names:

Jaundice of the newborn
Prevention:

In newborns, some degree of jaundice is normal and probably not preventable. Prevention of disease-related jaundice is related to the specific disease.

Since babies are now sent home from the hospital quickly or are often born in settings like birthing centers, it is important for parents to be on the lookout for jaundice in their infants in the first few weeks of life.
