Infant jaundice usually occurs because a baby's liver isn't mature enough to get rid of bilirubin in the bloodstream. In some cases, an underlying disease may cause jaundice. Treatment of infant jaundice often isn't necessary, and most cases that need treatment respond well to noninvasive therapy.
Finally, the babyâs liver may just not be mature enough to filter bilirubin from the bloodstream to avoid the yellowish tint. For the most part, jaundice is not a cause for concern. Physiologic jaundice is harmless and usually is seen at 2 to 4 days old. It goes away within 1 to 2 weeks. Breastfeeding failure jaundice may occur in infants who are breastfed and is caused by not nursing well or when the motherâs milk is slow to start.
