A. Hello mom Jaundice is very common in babies so you don’t have to worry about it at all you just have to follow the instructions given by a doctor. Rather than this you should also take your baby early morning outside for giving a proper sunlight it will also helps in curing it very fast. Baby should be totally on mother’s milk and feed your baby properly
