Question
What should I do if my newborn’s forehead isn’t yellow but their face is?
Answer
After a month of birth, you’ve noticed that your baby’s face is yellow, but the forehead isn’t. This could be a sign of physiological jaundice that hasn’t resolved. Newborn jaundice can be categorized into pathological jaundice, physiological jaundice, and breastmilk jaundice. Pathological jaundice may lead to severe neurological problems and requires timely phototherapy and medication treatment. Physiological and breastmilk jaundice typically do not require medication intervention and will resolve on their own.
