Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. Babies tend to loose weight in first 10-12 days and then gain. By now your baby should start gaining weight again. So feed every 2-3 hourly and check weight after 2 days it should be at least 50 gms more. Bilirubin is normal for this age. If weight does not increase get baby seen by pediatrician.
