There are several types of neonatal jaundice, including:
Physiological Jaundice: The most common type, appearing on the second or third day of life and resolving within two weeks. Pathological Jaundice: More serious, appearing within the first 24 hours of life and often related to underlying conditions like blood type incompatibilities or metabolic disorders. Breastfeeding Jaundice: Occurs in breastfed babies due to inadequate milk intake, leading to dehydration and increased bilirubin levels. Breast Milk Jaundice: Appears after the first week and can last for several weeks, associated with substances in breast milk that increase bilirubin reabsorption from the intestines.
