Jaundice in newborns is common, but parents should know when it's more than just a normal phase.
Watch for these symptoms:
- 💛 Yellow skin and eyes
- 🍼 Poor feeding
- 😴 Excessive sleepiness
- 😢 High-pitched crying
- 🚼 Dark urine or pale stools
If jaundice appears within the first 24 hours, spreads quickly, or your baby is difficult to wake or feed, seek medical attention immediately.
