Jaundice, also known as icterus, is a term used to describe a yellowish tinge to the skin and sclerae (the white part of the eye) that is caused by hyperbilirubinemia (an excess of bilirubin in the blood). Body fluids may also be yellow.
After birth, your baby's liver takes over. Sometimes, your newborn's liver can't break down bilirubin as quickly as his body makes it, and it starts to build up. Because bilirubin is a yellow compound, it turns your baby's skin and eyes yellow. Too much bilirubin in the blood is the most common cause of jaundice.
