Q.

My 9 days old newborn was 4 days old when she had bilirubin level of 12.2. Her doctor suggested that it will lower down by breastfeeding. He did not ask for any follow up check up. How long it should take to lower down the bilirubin level just by breastfeeding and when should I go for follow up?
