Hi. Jaundice in newborn must be treated very carefully. If jaundice level is more it can cause severe brain damage. Not passing urine is also not a good sign. Newborn babies pass stool with varying frequency. It may be several times a day to once in few days. But they should have passed stool at least once in first day.
Next Steps
Pls see a nearby Pediatrician or Neonatologist immediately!
