Is it normal for my baby not to cry or fuss on the fifth day after birth?

Patient's question:

My baby is five days old. The child doesn't cry or fuss, just sleeps naps, and doesn't eat. Only when given some glucose water will it come down a bit. The urine is also less. The child has had jaundice for the past two days. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Dear consultant, if the child currently has jaundice, it is important to try to keep the child awake, feed them some milk, and increase bowel movements to help the jaundice subside more smoothly. Additionally, you can also expose the child to sunlight during the day to help reduce jaundice.
