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.
The following signs or symptoms may indicate severe jaundice or complications from excess bilirubin. Call your doctor if: 1  Your baby's skin becomes more yellow. 2  Your baby's skin looks yellow on the abdomen, arms or legs. 3  The whites of your baby's eyes look yellow. 4  Your baby seems listless or sick or is difficult to awaken.
