Do not worry . Wait and watch . If child feeding well / Passing urine adequately then wait for another 24 hours before repeating tests

You don’t have to worry with this report if your babies birth weight is more than 2.5 kg . Just feed the baby well & if yellowish discolouration increases repeat the bilirubin along with another 2 test . 1. FT4 , TSH 2. G6PD .
Health Tips
Feed the baby well , bilirubin level increases after 1 week even if the feeding is inadequate .
