A. It’s common for some babies to have a slight increase in bilirubin levels after initial improvement, especially in the first few weeks of life. If your baby had phototherapy and the bilirubin dropped to 9, that’s a good sign. However, if it seems to be rising again or your baby looks more yellow, especially in the eyes or chest, it’s important to recheck the bilirubin level with your doctor. In many cases, mild jaundice can resolve on its own as the baby’s liver matures, but it’s essential to monitor it closely to avoid complications. Ensure your baby is feeding well, as frequent feeding helps eliminate bilirubin through urine and stool.
