You have not provided your blood group. Presuming your blood group is Rh positive with no other risk factors and 12.9mg/dl is the bilirubin value at 96 hours of life (or later), the level does not warrant phototherapy.
Next Steps
Baby will need close follow up with a pediatrician after a couple of days to ensure that the jaundice level isn't rising further.
Health Tips
Adequate breastfeeding will help reduce jaundice further. No other medicines can reduce jaundice in your baby.
