Brief Answer:
Yes, she can eat eggs daily
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Eggs are good source of proteins and will be helpful in lactation period. So, your wife can have it daily. It's good for both mother and baby.
Many babies suffer from jaundice in the first few days. Since she required phototherapy only for a day so no need to worry at all.
Take care
