Jaundice in Newborns

The doctor most likely will want to see your baby back within 48 hours (before the baby is 72 hours or three days old).

If your baby looks yellow to you, call your doctor immediately to go over the risk factors and decide when your baby should be seen.

If your baby does not look yellow, call your doctor's office today to schedule your baby's appointment (if you don't already have one).
