You may see the baby’s eyes are yellow and may come to know that baby has jaundice. However, the best way to know whether a baby has jaundice is to press over the baby’s forehead, and then you may find that the skin is yellow. There after you should press over the chest, the abdomen and then the legs. If the jaundice is detected only over the face, this is mild however, if it has spread over chest and abdomen, it is moderate and if it has spread over the legs it is severe. If it is mild and has occurred after the second day of age and baby is well, there is nothing to worry about. If it is moderate or severe then you should contact your doctor.
