He will gain weight on breast milk once the infection has cleared up. Don't worry. Keep feeding. Remember the more you introduce outside foods you actually increase the chances of infection.

If breast feed is not enough you can give him top feed. But if he's satisfied with breast milk that's the best milk in nutrition. No need to look for any supplement. Jaundice is very common in new borns which stays for 5 days. Per week the baby should gain 100-150 gm. So as per this calculation you can follow the weight status
