Can my baby become anemic from Jaundice?

No, not from the jaundice itself. Jaundice is more severe in babies when there is a process that causes rapid or increased destruction of the red blood cells. There may be an incompatibility between the blood types of mother and baby, a defect in the red blood cells, or excessive bleeding or bruising that could cause the anemia and also make the baby more likely to have jaundice that requires treatment.
