Answer:

The symptoms indicate jaundice ,which is due to immaturity of the liver.

During pregnancy ,the bilirubin is removed from the baby's blood by the placenta. When the  baby is born, this function is taken over by the liver of the baby.

The Jaundice which occurs within the very first few days of child birth is known as Physiologic jaundice. Low levels of Bilirubin are not a major concern, but measures should be taken so that Bilirubin does not increase to dangerous levels.
