How much jaundice is considered normal in newborns?

Patient's question:

My child was checked and found to have jaundice, but I don't know what the normal value of jaundice is considered appropriate.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, newborn jaundice with serum bilirubin less than 12.9 mg/dL (221 umol/L), and preterm infants less than 15 mg/dL (257 umol/L), all of which are pathological jaundice. If the baby is in good spirits, it can be observed. At the same time, oral jaundice medicine should be taken. If jaundice does not recur after 14 days, a retest should be conducted. It is recommended to have a check-up first.
