With inadequate breastmilk and baby not pooping everyday chances of bilirubin rising is more.
So try to breastfeed him well.
Get him checked by a pediatrician.

Jaundice is normally present in most newborns. This causes yellow urine, yellow eyes and yellow skin. This is likely to be present till 10 days. But please visit a pediatrician to check for level. Not pooping for 3 days is normal. You can wait for a few days more except if baby is crying a lot.
