A. hi..babies are usually given phototherapy if they have mild jaundice..Phototherapy for baby is safe, and it will last for two to three days, with a gap after every three to four hours. During the gap, you can feed the baby. The bilirubin levels are constantly monitored. Sometimes, the baby might develop a tan, but it would disappear soon. so do not worry about it.
