<s>[INST] Why do some babies need an earlier follow-up visit after leaving the hospital? [/INST] Some babies have a greater risk for high levels of bilirubin and may need to be seen sooner after discharge from the hospital. Ask your doctor about an early follow-up visit if your baby has any of the following symptoms:

A high bilirubin level before leaving the hospital
Early birth (more than 2 weeks before the due date)
Jaundice in the first 24 hours after birth
Breastfeeding that is not yet going well
Bleeding under the scalp or a lot of bruising related to labor and delivery
A parent, brother or sister who had a high bilirubin level and received light therapy

Also, let your baby's doctor know if you eat fava beans (broad beans) or use any of the following products: mothballs, antibiotics, henna, or herbal remedies. Eating fava beans and using these products should be avoided because in rare cases this can cause severe jaundice. Source: Healthy Children.org.
