A. yes it will settle down . serum bilirubin depends on mother and baby blood group incompatibility also depend on some genetic problems like g6pd deficiency, you must breast feeding regularly and frequently and recheck next day .if it is in increasing pattern baby needs hospitalization and detailed evaluation
