If your child needs hospital care

Admission is only recommended when Dr Jason’s assessment shows it is medically necessary.

Questions parents ask
Is newborn jaundice common?
Yes. Mild jaundice is common in the first week of life and often settles on its own. Some babies need checks or treatment, so it’s important to have jaundice assessed, especially if it appears on the first day, is getting deeper, or your baby is feeding poorly.
