Dear user, thank you for your question. Jaundice is a condition where bile pigments are accumulated in the bloodstream and appear as a yellow discoloration on the skin and whites of the eyes. There are many causes of jaundice, ranging from physiological jaundice (relatively harmless) to biliary atresia (serious). In the event of high levels of jaundice, a complication called "kernicterus" can occur in the first 2 weeks of life, whereby the toxic bile pigments affect the brain. Some warning signs of kernicterus to look out for include lethargy, drowsiness and poor feeding, in which cases should be seen by a medical professional early.
