It’s not recommended to do suntanning. Baby’s skin is likely to get burnt, without too much help with the jaundice levels.

Top up with formula. That helps too
Doctors don't recommend sunbathing now as it's not effective and might cause damage from the harmful UV rays. Bathing in herbal baths have not been proven effective either.

Can try bathing your baby with jaundice flowers which bought from tcm..its quite effective after several washes. My lo has recovered from jaundice 225 to 66 (within range 100), the doctor also got a shock after seeing the blood test results.😂
She will get better but try not to suntan for too long. Only do it for 10 min between 7am to 8am. Let her drink more milk and make sure she is peeing by counting wet diapers.
