Most jaundice in newborn babies is a normal event and is not serious. In most cases, this jaundice will disappear after a few days, often without any special treatment.
Infantile jaundice is referred to as erythroblastosis fetalis. It does not have any lasting effect on the baby.It is especially fatal for premature small babies. Newborn jaundice is a condition marked by high levels of bilirubin in the blood. The increased bilirubin cause the infant's skin and eyeballs to look yellow.
Keep the baby well-hydrated with breast milk or formula. Encourage frequent bowel movements by feeding frequently. This is because bilirubin is carried out of the body by the intestines in the stools. A blood transfusion is required by the child. This may occur when breast-fed babies do not take in enough breast milk.
