Jaundice (yellow color) may last upto 10 to 14 days. Adequate feeding and stooling will help to reduce the level

Jaundice in newborn is normal. Some babies may require treatment of phototherapy if the levels are high. Nirmally it settles within first 2 weeks.

It will get settled down by soon. Facial yellowing takes some time to disappear
Look for pale coloured stools and staining of diapers, lethargy
