Jaundice in baby
My baby is 44days old. His direct bilirubin is 0.53mg/dl and indirect bilirubin is 0.60mg/dl, which are higher than the normal range. Is this mean that he has jaundice? Should i be worried about it?

No need to worry. In newborns it can be normal. Check out stool and urine colour. Baby activity. Check Thyroid if not done before. If baby is yellowish and any abnormal stool or urine you should meet your pediatrician.
