jointdies with babies

The most common causes are breastfeeding jaundice (not enough milk supply initially) and breastmilk jaundice (the baby’s liver is still immature and unable to process and breakdown the breast milk quick enough). Both will settle down on their own, you just need to keep breastfeeding, and possibly top up with formula milk if baby’s not getting enough milk. There are other medical problems that can cause jaundice, but these are less common, and the doctors will recommend tests to be done if the jaundice levels remain high after 2 weeks/1 month.
