Neonatal jaundice, characterized by yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes, is commonly observed in newborns during the first two weeks of life. While up to 15% of breastfed infants may develop jaundice, most cases are due to elevated levels of indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin. However, jaundice can also be linked to increased conjugated bilirubin, which may signal underlying liver, metabolic or diversities of other diseases.
