A member asked:

My boy is 4weeks old, and he is still yellow of jaundice. we do put him in the sun for 10min daily. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: The usual transitional jaundice of the newborn is gone within the first week or so. Persistence of mild jaundice is relatively common in some breast fed babies at 4 wks. However any significant jaundice at 4 wks should be evaluated. It can be from multiple worrisome problems that require medical treatment.
