Jaundice in 2-Month-Olds: Causes, Symptoms & What to Expect

Yes, a 2 month old can get jaundice. Jaundice is a condition that occurs when there is too much bilirubin, a yellow pigment that is produced when red blood cells break down, in the blood. In newborns, jaundice is common and usually harmless, and it typically goes away on its own within a few weeks. However, in some cases, jaundice can be a sign of a more serious underlying medical condition, such as liver disease or a blocked bile duct. If your 2 month old has jaundice, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical problems.
