Physiological jaundice is a common thing in neonates. If it really looks deep den a serum bilirubin of baby needs to be checked. Mother’s blood group is important as if mother is RH negative/O blood group den chances of having jaundice increases (in that case baby’s blood group needs to be checked too. Milk output will increase by the more number of times the baby is attached to the breast. It increases gradually

Baby having jaundice is normal as long as the values are monitored. If mother delivered baby by cesarean then milk production takes 3-4 days. Nevertheless mother has to keep breastfeeding as inadequate milk will increase jaundice levels.
