Breast milk jaundice is a yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes that appears in some breastfed newborns, related to the way the baby processes bilirubin in its first weeks of life.
Possible manifestations:
- Yellowish tone in the skin and eyes.
- It usually appears in the first days or weeks after birth.

When to see a doctor? It is important to seek evaluation when the yellow tone is marked, spreads, or the baby seems drowsy or eats little.
Which specialist cares for it? The neonatologist and the pediatrician are the doctors who monitor this condition. It is advisable that a professional examine the baby directly to guide the follow-up.
