Excess bilirubin in a baby, known as jaundice, can lead to serious health issues if not treated promptly. High levels of bilirubin can cause brain damage, a condition called kernicterus, which may result in long-term neurological problems. Additionally, elevated bilirubin can indicate underlying health issues, such as liver dysfunction or hemolytic disease. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent complications.

Can jaundice in newborns be deadly?

Jaundice is caused by the body having an excess of bilirubin in the blood, which is produced by the normal breakdown of red blood cells. The baby liver is often immature and still developing and cannot pass the bilirubin out of the body at the rate at which it needs to. Also if the baby is premature it is often more common, and if they are not getting fed often enough to flush out the excess. The excess bilirubin gives the skin a yellow color.

Why would newborn babies be exposed to sunshine?

0-6 months: Infants under 6 months of age should be kept out of the sun. Their skin is too sensitive for sunscreen. An infant's skin possesses little melanin, the pigment that gives colour to skin, hair and eyes and provides some sun protection. Therefore, babies are especially susceptible to the sun's damaging effects.So it isn't really safe but, only some people do it but, there isn't a clear reason why.HERE IS ANOTHER ANSWER:A common condition for newborns is jaundice (yellowing of the skin and sclera of the eyes). Jaundice occurs when the baby produces more bilirubin than the liver can process. Bilirubin is a by product of normal breakdown of red blood cells. The three most common reasons for excess bilirubin are excess production of bilirubin due to the baby's normally higher than adult turn over of red blood cells, immature liver that cannot keep up with normal bilirubin production, or reabsorption of bilirubin by the intestines. the most common treatment of jaundice is phototherapy, the exposure of the child to special lighting that helps alter the by product to make it easier for the child's liver to process it. Some pediatricians may suggest the exposure of the child to brief periods of natural daylight if bilirubin levels are below 15-25mg.


What circumstance leads to higher than normal levels of bilirubin in newborn babies?

Before birth, an infant gets rid of bilirubin through the mother's blood and liver systems. After birth, the baby's liver has to take over processing bilirubin on its own.

Can you give birth in public?

No. Birth is a very messy event and there is the danger of the baby getting an infection or having a problem. No one would like to watch as well.
