Jaundice! Yellow eyes
The baby is a '6 days old female child'.
Her eyes are yellow.
The skin is also a little bit yellow.
She is having a good amount of sleep for around 20 hrs.
She is sucking mother's milk well.
No sign of fever or vomiting.
Blood group: O positive
Serum Bilirubin Test:
Direct: 1.0

People around me say this is normal with a newborn, she just needs a sun bath daily.
But my question here is,
Do we need to worry?
What precautions or actions should we take here?
