Prevention

In most cases, jaundice is not preventable.

• The best way to avoid jaundice is to make sure your baby is getting enough fluids.
  
  
• If you are breastfeeding your child and have any questions or concerns, speak to a lactation consultant. Many hospitals provide this service.
  
  
• If you have not received formal training in infant or child CPR and you have children at home, contact your local American Heart Association chapter to enroll in a class as soon as possible.
