This is a condition called jaundice and is caused because your baby’s liver cannot work fast enough to dispose of a pigment called bilirubin. Premature babies are more likely to suffer from jaundice. Newborn jaundice is caused by high levels of bilirubin in the blood, which gives an infant’s skin and eyeballs a yellowish tinge.

They overcame this deleterious side effect, however, by adding an inhaled anti-inflammatory drug to the oxygen therapy.
