For 4 days baby the value is absolutely normal. Nothing to worry about.
Next Steps
maintain proper feeding. feed the child properly and look for urination. if the child passes urine 5-7 times a day then it is adequate feeding. decreased urination and feeding can cause jaundice in newborns.
Health Tips
sunlight which we give ideally has no role for jaundice. in your case also sunlight will not help.
