What is the normal bilirubin limit for newborn?

The normal bilirubin level for newborns typically ranges from 1 to 12 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), depending on the infant's age in hours. Bilirubin levels tend to peak around the third to fifth day of life. Levels above this range may indicate jaundice, which can require monitoring and treatment. It's important for healthcare providers to assess bilirubin levels in the context of the newborn's overall health.
