A. Usually if the jaundice is related to birth then it will come within 1 to 2 days after giving birth. If it is increasing even after one week then we have to evaluate to find out if there are any other reasons. Sometimes it could be because of breastmilk and sometimes it could also be because of hypothyroidism or any other disorder in the child.Write Your Answer Here
