Hello, this parent. Baby jaundice is divided into physiological and pathological types. After birth, physiological jaundice will appear, usually appearing two days after birth and gradually subsiding within seven days. The jaundice index does not exceed 12.9. If the baby has a prolonged, uninterrupted duration and a high jaundice index, then it is pathological jaundice, and it is recommended to use blue light irradiation, which has no side effects.
