In medicine, jaundice in newborns under the age of one month (within 28 days of birth) is referred to as neonatal jaundice. The highest level of bilirubin in the umbilical cord blood of normal newborns is approximately 51.3 μmol/L (3 mg/dL), which drops to less than 171–205 μmol/L (10–12 mg/dL) four days after birth. For premature infants, it is less than 256.5 μmol/L (15 mg/dL).1. Physiological jaundice: This refers to transient jaundice caused solely by the characteristics of bilirubin decomposition and metabolism. It reappears 2–3 days after birth, peaks between 4–6 days, and fades away between 7–10 days. The duration is longer in premature infants.
