My son is 11 days old and he is suffering with Jaundice, bilirubin levels were 12.7. On 6th day levels were 16 and 48 hours phototherapy was done. Again when we checked on 10th day it was 12.9 and 11th day it was 12.7. Doctor suggested to wait for 48 hours and asked to increase the feeding. Can you please suggest
