Breast milk jaundice: Stop breast feeding for several days. Also depending on how high the jaundice is she may need to be put under the bilirubin lights.

See below: Breast milk jaundice often causes noticeable jaundice up to 6 weeks. However, it will be prudent to monitor the level of bilirubin (yellow pigment in blood) not to reach above 25 mg/dl.

Follow up visit: I agree that this may be related to breast milk related jaundice. There are many causes for jaundice at that age. I would suggest noting down any worsening and the color of her stools for your pediatrician. I would suggest a follow up visit within 7 days.
