Can jaundice cause borderline retardation?

In cut and dried theory? Maybe. Jaundice is the kidney failing to process all the waste in the body and is common in infants. It responds to treatment at a rate of about 99.9% but if left untreated there's no telling how much damage could be done to anywhere in the body. Brain damage? Sure, in theory.

Yes Yes Yes! I personally know of one child that did not develop beyond a 3 year old mentality because his levels remained too high for too long once he was release from the hospital after birth - you know the rush job you get after delivery - get you in and out the same day. He is 32 now and still in diapers.

Yes. Jaundice is caused by a buildup of bilirubin which is toxic to the brain. The term is kernicterus. This is the reason jaundice in babies is so important to treat early.
