More than half of all normal, healthy infants(boy and girl equally) develop jaundice - a yellowish tinge to their skin or eyes - in the first few days of life. In newborns, jaundice isn't a disease. In most cases it occurs because your baby's liver isn't mature enough to metabolize a normal, breakdown product of red blood cells called bilirubin.

I always heard it was the other way around. I have two girls, neither had jaundice.
