Yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes — the main symptom of infant jaundice — normally occurs between the second and fourth day after birth.

To search for infant jaundice, press softly on your baby's forehead or nose. If the skin looks yellow where you squeezed, it's possible your baby has mild jaundice. If your baby doesn't have jaundice, the skin color should simply look slightly lighter than its normal color for a moment.

Examine your baby in good lighting conditions, preferably in natural daylight.
