The most pervasive sign of infant jaundice is yellow skin and sclerae (the whites of the eyes). This typically starts at the head, and spreads to the chest, stomach, arms, and legs. Symptoms of infant jaundice can also include: drowsiness; pale stools - breast-fed babies should have greenish-yellow stools, while those of bottle fed babies should be a greenish-mustard color; poor sucking or feeding; dark urine - a newborn's urine should be colorless; Symptoms of severe infant jaundice include: yellow abdomen or limbs; drowsiness
In newborns, jaundice is detected by blanching the skin with pressure applied by a finger so that it reveals underlying skin and subcutaneous tissue. Jaundiced newborns have yellow discoloration of the white part of the eye, and yellowing of the face, extending down onto the chest. Neonatal jaundice can make the newborn sleepy and interfere with feeding. Extreme jaundice can cause permanent brain damage from kernicterus. In neonates, the yellow discoloration of the skin is first noted in the face and as the bilirubin level rises proceeds caudal to the trunk and then to the extremities.
