What is the reason for discomfort after newborn jaundice subsides?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, newborn jaundice level dropped to over 100, just discharged today. Feeling occasional twitching, and the movement of the abdomen and chest during breathing is occasionally large as well. The crying sounds are not as loud as before, and he is not as active as before. Before hospitalization, there were no twitching or breathing issues. The jaundice level was over 400 before hospitalization. During the hospital stay, after a thorough examination, the doctor said all indicators were normal. Hello, are the above several issues normal for the baby at this stage?

Doctor's answer:

If there are any problems, the doctor will not discharge the baby. The baby has many behaviors that are different from adults, for example, the baby's breathing is much faster than ours, and the baby breathes in a diaphragmatic manner. It is recommended that you take good care of the baby and pay close attention to the baby's feeding, in addition to weight gain. The situation you mentioned is not a disease. The baby's small systems are not fully developed, and many of their behaviors are different from ours.
