March 2023: We added a safety statement about using bilirubin thresholds to the definitions sections for statements 2 and 3, and to the list of quality statements.
April 2021: This quality standard was amended to ensure alignment with the updated NICE guidelines on jaundice in newborn babies under 28 days and postnatal care. The NICE guideline on postnatal care was removed as source guidance for statement 1 because the updated guideline no longer covers jaundice. Recommendations used as source guidance for statement 2 were changed to reflect the updated guideline on jaundice in newborn babies.
