Abstract

Neonatal jaundice, characterized by the yellowing of a newborn’s skin and eyes due to elevated bilirubin levels, is a common occurrence in the first weeks of life. While often harmless, it can occasionally indicate underlying health concerns. This abstract highlights the importance of monitoring neonatal jaundice under the supervision of qualified healthcare providers. Early detection and appropriate management are crucial in preventing potential complications. This paper discusses the causes, risk factors, assessment, and management strategies for neonatal jaundice, emphasizing the critical role of healthcare providers in ensuring the well-being of newborns. By staying vigilant and proactive, healthcare professionals can effectively safeguard against the rare but significant risks associated with neonatal jaundice, thus promoting optimal outcomes for infants and their families.
