Question
My daughter is one month old and has a jaundice level of 12.7. She started showing jaundice around 4 days after birth, and it hasn’t gone away yet. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
Jaundice typically starts at the head and fades from the feet, with the eyes being the first to turn yellow and the last to clear. When observing, start with the eyes. If you’re unsure how to observe, try pressing any part of the body; if the skin turns white after pressing, there’s no problem; if it turns yellow, you should be cautious.
