🤔Why do so many newborns👶turn into little sunflowers?🌻 Maximum neonates get jaundice because their livers are still immature and not fully efficient at processing bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. In newborns, red blood cells break down faster than in adults, and the excess bilirubin can build up in the blood, leading to the characteristic yellowing of the skin and eyes. This condition, known as neonatal jaundice, is common and usually resolves on its own or with minimal treatment as the liver matures
