there is always a chance of neonatal jaundice in small children within one or maximum 2 weeks of birth in whichf the skin as the eyes may appear yellow. 
you have to meet the doctor for evaluation of the jaundice.
normal simple jaundice will gfo away on its own with only breastfeeding but if it is more your doctor will advise phototherapy.c
the yellowness from the eyes may take around 1 to 1 and half month to totally go away.

U Continue doing that and also give vitamin D supplement to the child I am sure your doctor must have advised you to go for one because that is also equally important for a child to be taken so just Do both the things together and it is going to be better still if you have a doubt then please get it assessed with your doctor
