Majority of the newborn baby's will have a jaundice , this is called as physiological Jaundice of newborn. Severity of the Jaundice,depends on on Mothers blood group and babies blood group. Day 5 of life and level of Jaundice 11appears to be safe.But need this additional information to give correct advice.If there is no blood group set up and no additional risk factor associated with it,Morning sunlight is enough presently.
Next Steps
Take online consultation Or have opinion of nearby paediatrician.
