Chelsie and her fiance were overjoyed at their daughter's arrival (Instagram/ @chelsiepadley_)She later teased her fans with an explanation of Goldie’s “wild” birth story, and revealed the four day old tot had jaundice, which is c common but harmless condition. “Thank you so much everyone who has sent messages and called me beautiful (I really am),” Chelsie wrote atop a picture on her Instagram Stories. “Mummy will tell you the wild and wonderful story of how I decided to enter this world soon but right now she's super busy feeding me yummy milk very often so I can get rid of this jaundice stuff.”
Symptoms of jaundice in newborns usually appear as yellow-tinged skin, and most babies get better within two weeks, as it’s caused by a build-up of bilirubin in their blood, as their liver is not yet properly developed. There is no treatment for jaundice, as the condition usually passes on its own, and it’s estimated 6 out of 10 newborn babies are diagnosed with jaundice.
