Neonatal jaundice is very common entity and doesn't always require treatment. For full term baby 11.9 bilirubin at 4th day of life is normal and just followup is required. Direct bilirubin of 2.7 and indirect bilirubin of 9.2 is in normal range .
Next Steps
followup bloodwork as adviced by Pediatrician
