A. it is due to r jaundice but the levels has come down but no need to worry regarding the yellow Ness which is present in the eyes and it will decrease by 1 to maximum 2 months without any treatment just continue regular breastfeeding

A. Hello dear parent, we'll you will have to go and sit so that you can feed the baby well enough while baby is under photo therapy. Do nkt worry. The more baby will be exposed to photo therapy the baby will recover soon. Good luck and take care
