Which of the following if seen in day 10 of life, is worrisome ?
High-Yield Explanation
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that newborns be examined for jaundice during routine medical checks and at least every eight to 12 hours while in the hospital. Your baby should be examined for jaundice between the third and seventh day after bih, when bilirubin levels usually peak. If this peak extends to more days then it is worrisome.
