Jaundice in newborn boy

Sarah

The doctor is telling me and husband to go back to doctor every other day to check his jaundice level, and then go for blood work everytime.

She tells me that high jaundice levels in newborns can cause brain damage.

Mind you, this is my 2nd that has jaundice he is a fully breastfeeding baby, she said formula fed babies will go away sooner then breastfeeding , should I worry about this ? My middle child had the same color on her, and it went away about 2 months or so…. She was also exclusively breastfed. Both kids are full term, and healthy & no problems with pregnancy. Should I worry? The number went up by like a point
