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.
JAUNDICE SYMPTOMS. Jaundice initially causes the skin to become yellowed. Later, the whites of the eyes (conjunctiva) may have a yellowish tinge. These changes may be hard to recognize in children with a dark skin color or if a baby is unable to open eyelids. The color change: Is noticeable in the face first, and may progress down to the chest, abdomen, arms, and then finally to the legs. However, in some infants, the head-to- toe progression of jaundice can be masked, and the jaundice may appear over the entire body like a tan.
