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.
Some symptoms include yellowing of the whites of the eyes, mucous membranes, and skin; light colored stools, poor feeding, lethargy, high pitched crying, and seizures. Treatments for newborn jaundice depend upon the underlying condition or disease causing the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood.
