Patient's question:
Hello doctor, is there a direct relationship between newborn babies often not sleeping and jaundice on their skin?Doctor's answer:
Hello, because the nervous system of newborns has not yet developed well, it is normal for them to occasionally not sleep for a day. Don't be too nervous, moms. It's important to help the baby develop a regular sleep habit and provide a good sleep environment. Jaundice is divided into physiological and pathological types. Generally, pathological jaundice appears within 24 hours after birth, while physiological jaundice usually appears 2-3 days after birth, peaks between 5-6 days, and then subsides between 7-10 days. There is not much relationship between the baby not sleeping and jaundice.
