1. Jaundice does not affect voiding and stooling, but lack of voiding and stooling may increase the jaundice level.
2. Bilirubin encephalopathy can cause hypotonia, opisthotonic posturing, and brain damage at high levels of jaundice, which make early intervention important.
3. Moms may continue to breastfeed if the baby is jaundiced, but may sometimes need to supplement if intake or output is poor.
4. Babies with an infection may have a higher jaundice level, but jaundice does not cause the infection.
