A. Bilirubin levels are still very high and you have to consult your doctor immediately and if required, they will keep the baby under phototherapy again. Please don’t neglect and consult your doctor right away.

A. My daughter was also having neonatal jaundice & was on phototherapy treatment for 32 hrs. pediatrician said just breastfeed your baby properly, bilirubin will decrease after 1 week. So feed your baby in every 2-3 hrs. & press your baby feet if it's yellow then consult a doctor.
