Can jaundice goes up within 3 months?

First time hearing this. Was being asked to suntan baby for 3 months and on the light at night even tho jaundice level has lowered down to 111. Anyone experienced it?

dont suntan! doc advised against suntan , citing that the uv rays from sun is now deadlier than last time. just feed on the dot every 2 hours to help bb hydrate and pee more. it will get better each doc visit

Once jaundice levels start dropping, it should keep downtrending. Just make sure baby is well feed 3 hourly and has good diaper output. No need to suntan, it may make baby more dehydrated!

never heard it go back up.. always going down. just brought my baby to check her result was 107. dr was v confident it will be lower at her next appointment

Dont suntan baby! Especially newborn.
