jaundis

hey there, I just thought that id ask if i should be worried that my new born is jaundist.

It depends on how old your baby is,  quite frankly most babies will have some degree of jaundis.  This should really go within the first week or two.  To help your baby get rid of the billirubin (this turns the skin yellow) its best to make sure she is well fed and has plenty of sunlight.  Good old Vit D will get rid of it.  If she is having prolonged jaundis then take her to your GP.
