Slight neonatal jaundice is normal. I don't know what you mean by slight jandice. Normally it goes away by 1month. The baby is active. So no worry. Just to be safe do s biirubin ,home collection of blood stay safe at home.

I suggest it’s delayed due to some effects of breast feeding and late clearing of bilirubin by liver function derangement.
Neonatal jaundice is last disappearing from face and eyes.
Normal time is 21 days to 4-6 weeks.
If baby is feeding well and gaining weight as per normal velocity then no needs to investigate the further.
Pls consult your pediatric consulting doctor.
