It is common for newborns, to have minor health problems that can be corrected without long-term problems. Some newborns, especially preemies suffer from jaundice after being born. Jaundice is caused by high levels of bilirubin, which occurs as a result of the slow process of the removal of bilirubin from the baby's liver. After birth babies are born they are usually checked for jaundice at least every 8 to 12 hours during their first day of birth.
Premature babies are more likely to develop infections, that is why it is important to always practice proper hygiene when handling the baby. Anyone who is touching the baby should always wash their hands with soap and water. Your doctor will provide you with all the resources that are available for a premature baby. If you have insurance, they may cover all the cost for prescriptions drugs or you may need to pay a small co-payment.
