It is common to see newborn babies are often affected by jaundice, which makes their skin and eyes have a yellowish tinge. According to KKH, approximately 60 per cent of full-term babies and 85 per cent of premature babies develop jaundice during the first week of life in Singapore. <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.kkh.com.sg\/news\/patient-care\/singapores-first-national-clinical-guidelines-for-the-management-of-neonatal-jaundice-launched-to-enhance-care-for-newborns\">(KKH, 2018)<\/a> In this article, let&#8217;s dive into the symptoms of jaundice, how it causes and the solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-337a099f7e8899c540a4021538fe106f\" style=\"color:#00693b\"><strong>What is Newborn Jaundice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 44%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Jaundice causes a yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes. It is a frequent occurrence in newborns and is generally not a cause for concern. It is due to when there&#8217;s too much bilirubin in your baby&#8217;s blood. Most infants recover within 10 to 14 days, though in premature babies, the condition may last up to three weeks.
