How caffeinated are you? Hereâs an interesting factoid: It takes our body close to 8 hours to metabolize a single cup of coffee. A cup of coffee can contain 65-175 mg of caffeine. The benchmark is 100mg, and the current recommendation is to drink up to 3 cups of coffee per day. Which means that drinking all 3 cups may leave your body continually caffeinated.
Often, physiologic jaundice -- the type seen in most newborns -- does not require aggressive treatment. It will typically disappear in a few days with frequent feedings and exposure to indirect sunlight at home.Doctors may test the baby 's bilirubin levels during that time to make sure it has not gotten worse.ften, physiologic jaundice -- the type seen in most newborns -- does not require aggressive treatment.

In newborns, jaundice is detected by blanching the skin with pressure applied by a finger so that it reveals underlying skin and subcutaneous tissue. Jaundiced newborns have yellow discoloration of the white part of the eye, and yellowing of the face, extending down onto the chest. Neonatal jaundice can make the newborn sleepy and interfere with feeding. Extreme jaundice can cause permanent brain damage from kernicterus. In neonates, the yellow discoloration of the skin is first noted in the face and as the bilirubin level rises proceeds caudal to the trunk and then to the extremities.
