From the pics.
My son is 7 day old.
I feel like sometimes I see yellowish tinge in his eyes and skin.

If youre worried, go to the GP or HV - we're not going to be able to help as skintone is so hard to tell via pictures, because of lighting, screen variation etc

Yes please see a health professional! They've had years of training and will be able to see your baby in person. Even if you get advice on here you have no idea how much you can trust it. Take him to a doctor/midwife ASAP. Jaundice can be dangerous if left untreated. Hope you and your baby are ok x

I have already taken him to paediatrician. She said everything ok , only told us to monitor his urine timings.
Will take him again coming Wednesday

Then i don't think you need us at all! It's always best to take medical advice rather than asking randoms on the internet.
