I know that the insert to the drug Pitocin actually states an increased risk of jaundice <<Because of maternal and fetal risks, oxytocin must be administered with caution {03} {13} {17} {52}. It has been reported to cause fetal bradycardia, neonatal retinal hemorrhage, and neonatal jaundice, in addition to maternal effects {02} {03} {10} {13} {25} {26} {27} {32} {52}.>>To see these references, you can go to <<http://www.drugs.com/MMX/Oxytocin.html>>

Best wishes,
