Question
The newborn can eat and sleep well, but has jaundice. Should I be worried?
Answer
If a newborn develops jaundice, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for a bilirubin level measurement. If it exceeds the standard, blue light therapy may be required. The duration of treatment depends on the condition. If the baby shows signs of listlessness or the jaundice index is too high, immediate blue light therapy should be administered to prevent bilirubin encephalopathy.
