Causes of Jaundice in Children
Red blood cells release bilirubin during their normal breakdown process, and bilirubin will be broken down by your liver. When the baby is still in his or her mother’s body, it is the liver of the mother that clears out the bilirubin for them. When the baby is born, his liver can do this job by itself. The newborn’s liver, from time to time, is unable to undertake this task quickly enough, leading to the accumulation of bilirubin. Since it is a yellow compound, the increased content of bilirubin can cause yellow skin or sclerae.
Jaundice usually occurs in preterm babies, when the baby’s liver is still developing, or when your baby does not receive enough breast milk or there is something in the breast milk that triggers jaundice.
