About Newborn Jaundice in Delhi
A yellowish discoloration of a newborn's skin and the whites of the eyes caused by a buildup of bilirubin, a substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. It is very common in the first week of life as a newborn's liver is still maturing, and mild cases usually resolve on their own, though higher levels need monitoring and treatment.

When should I see a doctor for Newborn Jaundice?
Seek prompt medical evaluation if jaundice appears within the first 24 hours of life, spreads to the arms, legs, or eyes, deepens in colour, or is accompanied by poor feeding, excessive sleepiness, high-pitched crying, or fever, as very high bilirubin levels can affect the brain if untreated. Any newborn with visible jaundice should have bilirubin levels checked by a paediatrician to determine if treatment such as phototherapy is needed.
