What are the symptoms of newborn jaundice?

Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of newborn jaundice? I am a mother of a one-year-old baby, so I want to understand this aspect of newborn diseases, so I'd like to ask how to prevent the recurrence of newborn jaundice? Is there any method?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal jaundice is generally divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice usually occurs within one week after the baby is born, and it does not require any intervention, as it can naturally resolve on its own. Pathological jaundice includes jaundice caused by blood type incompatibility, breast milk jaundice, etc. This type of jaundice requires treatment, and you can carefully observe the baby after birth.
