For jaundice, admission depends on weight of child and mother & baby blood group. However if weight is above 2.5kg, then can repeat bilirubin after 24 to 48 hours and if above 15 then to get admitted.
Can give sun therapy that is 15-20 minutes of early sunlight around 7 or 8am depending on wheather of your region. Indirect sunlight exposure also.
Non veg food as such shouldn't be an issue but preferably should be avoided.
