My wife delivered baby in 36th week normal delivery, after birth of two days jaundice observed during hospital only, tested and bilirubin level of 17. Further three days of photography treatment it was 10.7, then doctors discharged and we came home. Now after 27 days of birth, we tested bilirubin level is 9.6. Is this normal or any necessary care to be taken immediately.
