Newborn Jaundice
Many babies may have jaundice after birth. This is a very common and normal phenomenon. Jaundice usually occurs within two to six days of the newborn’s birth and resolves within two weeks. At this time the baby has to be fed more breast milk and at the same time, the baby has to be kept on an empty body for a while in the light sun of the morning. Then the child is quickly jaundiced. But keep in mind – do not let the sunlight fall directly on the baby’s head.
In most cases, jaundice in children does not require any separate treatment. However, if jaundice occurs immediately after the birth of the child or jaundice occurs after the age of seven days, or if the yellowing of the skin due to jaundice becomes darker day by day, then a doctor should be seen.
Tears In The Eyes
Some newborns may have clear water or tears in their eyes. He does not need any treatment. However, if the baby is gently massaged with the finger along the corner of the eye at the base of the nose, the watery eyes will be cured. If the tears are mixed with pus or like pus, the advice of a doctor is needed.

The Rash

The swelling may increase in the first few months, but later the swelling becomes normal as it shrinks. Navel swelling does not cause any problems. However, if the navel swelling seems very unusual, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
