Which day did the jaundice appear? If on 2nd day ,most likely it is physiologic( non pathologic jaundice ) which peaks on day 4 - 5 and resolves on it's own by 2 weeks. So no worries . You should show to a paediatrician who will assess the level of jaundice. Meanwhile expose the child to early morning sunlight and ensure child is properly fed which will ensure that the hydration is good
