Illuminated Pajamas Treat Babies with Jaundice Infant jaundice is common, as babies’ metabolisms are not very resilient during the first few days after birth. With jaundice, bilirubin accumulates in large amounts, causing visible yellow tinting of the skin. Irradiation with blue light intensities of 30 µW/cm2 in an incubator transforms the toxic bilirubin into a soluble form that can easily be removed by the infant’s...
