#asktheexpert My daughter who is almost a month old is having bilirubin level is 12.9 mg/dl. The bilirubin level was 11.9 mg/dl last week. She seems a bit yellow (has been yellowish since birth, her bilirubin has been in the range 12-17 mg/dl). Please advise what should be done. Should we go for her phototherapy?
