Treatment of jaundice in neonates

Significant jaundice is often treated with phototherapy. This involves placing the baby on a warmer beneath special lights. These lights are able to penetrate a baby's skin and affect the bilirubin within the child. The light changes bilirubin into lumirubin, which is easily handled by the baby's body.
