D4 baby 13.2 bilirubin...either it will be in phototherapy range i.e...may require phototherapy..or in High risk zone...I.e may be need strict monitoring...
If appropriately feeding and if required phototherapy was not administered may land up in blood exchange and fits and neurological problem
Jaundice should be assessed with background history. So consult Pediatrician or neonatologist
