How to Check?


  • To check if the baby gets jaundice, slowly press the baby's forehead or nose. 
  • If the skin looks yellow where you press, your baby may have jaundice. For your baby to be healthy, the colour will look brighter than normal skin colour.

  • You will also find that your baby's stools are pale.
