Usually baby loose their weight in first wk & gradually started to gain weight as they take more feed. Might be yr feed is not enough. However try to encourage maximum breast feed. Wt will increase gradually. Regarding jaundice, majority of babies have physiological jaundice & it will resolve with time but if yellowness increasing, check for serum bilirubin level total, direct & indirect.
