How do you recognize jaundice in a new born?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many ways: Most experienced observers just look at the kid. I becomes evident as a yellowish tint to the skin. There are also automatic skin bilirubin sensors and blood tests that may be used to confirm or exclude its presence.
