My baby is yellow / jaundice
Advice for parents/carers:
Jaundice is extremely common and affects 6 out of every 10 babies. It causes yellowing of the skin and eyes. It is more common in preterm babies (born before 37 weeks). Jaundice usually develops 2 to 3 days after birth and disappears by two weeks of age. It is usually harmless. If your baby looks very yellow, health care professionals may do blood tests to check the 'level' of jaundice.
