If more of indirect bilirubin, she'll need phototherapy after investigations to rule out ABO incompatibility, G6pd deficiency, certain genetic conditions etc (since thyroid levels are normal)
Next Steps
If all normal it could be a benign cause like breast milk jaundice which responds to stopping feeding for 2 days
