The most common types of jaundice are: Physiological (normal) jaundice: Most newborns have this mild jaundice because their liver is still maturing. It often appears when a baby 2 to 4 days old and disappears by 1 to 2 weeks of age.
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.
