Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Not to worry. As the liver is still developing bilirubin will be high in babies.
2. If it goes above twenty, it might require intervention.
3. Along with medication, exposure to sunlight will reduce bilirubin faster. Be careful, that there is no sunburn due to excessive exposure. It will reduce faster. Not to worry.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
