Jaundice is a common condition in newborns, causing a yellowish tint to the skin and eyes due to elevated bilirubin levels. As a birth doula in Los Angeles, I explain the different types of jaundice, including physiological and breastfeeding jaundice, and how they are managed. Understanding jaundice can help you support your baby through their early days and ensure they receive appropriate care. Regular feeding, gentle sunlight exposure, and monitoring by your pediatrician are key steps in managing this condition. For any concerns or further guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider.
