Patient's question:
My child has been born for about two days. I heard that after birth, children are particularly prone to jaundice. However, my child still hasn't shown any signs of jaundice so far. How long does jaundice take to appear in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, jaundice does not occur in every newborn. If there is no blood type incompatibility, jaundice generally cannot occur. The baby does not have jaundice, so there is no problem. Don't worry. There should not be jaundice. It should not be yellow. Most newborns will develop yellow skin around 2 to 3 days after birth, and this condition is called jaundice.
