My baby has jaundice (yellow)

Jaundice is very common and affects about 6 out of 10 babies. It makes the skin and eyes look yellow. It happens more often in babies born before 37 weeks. Jaundice usually starts 2 to 3 days after birth and goes away by two weeks of age. Most of the time, it is not harmful.
