Physiologic jaundice is normal, so there is no need to notify the healthcare provider even if the infant's jaundice worsens after discharge.

Breastfed infants who are fed frequently are no more likely to develop jaundice than bottle-fed infants.

If the infant becomes jaundiced, supplements with formula should be provided every other feeding to decrease the serum bilirubin.

Jaundice usually accompanies prematurity, and since this infant was full term, jaundice should not be a problem.
