I would call your Pediatrician right away for an appointment. In the meantime, you can put the baby (in just a diaper) infront of a window to get some natural sunlight. Depending on the Billy Rueben level, the baby might need to go under the lights at the hospital & get a blood work up.

yellow means Jaundice. You need to have that baby checked out before it does serious damage. Sunlight is usually a good remedy, but there may be underlying factors why the baby has Jaundice. Don't wait for an answer here, call your pediatrician now.

Get that baby straight to the hospital. My son was born with the same thing & it is called yellow jaundice. That child will need immediate help before the situation can get worse.

Possibly jaundiced or lacking in Bilirubin. My daughter had a bilirubin deficiency when she was born. We had to get what tell called a Biliblanket, which basically emitted light of a certain type. She was back to normal in a couple weeks.

Sounds like a little bit of jaundice.The very best thing you can do for that is to breastfeed.Newborns have livers that are not quite finished growing and iron is very hard on them.However the amount of everything in breast milk is the perfect nutrition to get this child started off right!YHWH bless you all.

Sounds like jaundice, if it is mild, you can place him under a window in the sunlight, but you will need to cal the Doctor, as he may need a special light, and monitoring of his bilirubin levels.

That's jaundice. They need to go to the doctor right away. If it goes untreated then it can be deadly. Breastfeeding helps to clear it up, but you'll still need a doctor.
