How caffeinated are you? Hereâs an interesting factoid: It takes our body close to 8 hours to metabolize a single cup of coffee. A cup of coffee can contain 65-175 mg of caffeine. The benchmark is 100mg, and the current recommendation is to drink up to 3 cups of coffee per day. Which means that drinking all 3 cups may leave your body continually caffeinated.
Jaundice is a yellow tint to a newborn's skin and the white part of the eyes. It is a sign that there's too much bilirubin in the baby's blood.

Jaundice may result from serious disorders, such as incompatibility of the newbornâs and motherâs blood type, excessive breakdown of red blood cells, or a severe infection. If jaundice develops in a newborn, parents should call their doctor right away. If jaundice is caused by a disorder, that disorder is treated.reastfeeding jaundice is common. It develops in 1 of 6 breastfed infants a few days after birth. It occurs in newborns who do not consume enough breast milk (often because the mother's milk has not yet come in well). Newborns who consume less breast milk have fewer bowel movements and thus eliminate less bilirubin.
