Jaundice is common in all newborns and peaks on third day,and vanishes by 7-10 days of life.
If he still has jaundice,get him investigated.
Plz consult your paediatrician for physical examination and investigation for further management.

Dear parents,
Neonatal jaundice is with bilirubin 13.6,&later decrease & discharge is good. At age of 26day get bilirubin test done & get satisfied. Yellowness of eyes take long time to clear, so don't worry.
