Neonatal jaundice is common within the first week after birth, which may cause the skin and whites of the eyes to turn yellow. Severe cases may require treatment.
Full-term infants may experience a recurrence of jaundice between 2-3 days after birth, reaching its peak at 4-5 days and fading away by 5-7 days. Normally, it does not exceed 2 weeks, while premature infants may extend up to 3-4 weeks. It is recommended to conduct a bilirubin index test during the baby’s physiological jaundice period, and hospitalization may be required if the level is below 12.9mg. Bilirubin testing can be performed after breastfeeding to diagnose possible breastfeeding jaundice. Stopping breastfeeding and switching to artificial feeding may be necessary.
