10: Why is my Baby yellow? - A chat about Baby Jaundice

In today's episode, we'll be talking about a common condition that affects many newborn babies: neonatal jaundice. If you're a new parent, you may have heard the term "jaundice" but aren't quite sure what it means. Simply put, jaundice is a condition where a baby's skin and eyes appear yellow due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood. This is a normal occurrence in many newborns and usually goes away on its own within a few weeks. However, for some babies, jaundice can be more serious and may require medical attention.  In this episode, we'll be discussing what causes neonatal jaundice, how it's diagnosed, and what treatments are available. We'll also be sharing some tips on how to care for a baby with jaundice at home. So, whether you're a first-time parent or have been through this before, this episode is for you. Sit back, relax, and let's dive into the world of neonatal jaundice.
