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.
