Hello dear parent, do not be much worried. Jaundice is very common among infants. And it may take 40 to 50 days in some babies. But you should stay in touch eith your paediatric  for everything. And you should feed her much so that her urine count reaches 8 to 10 times in a day. 
As feeding the baby well also.help in reducing jaundice in babies.
