It is normal. This is called physiological jaundice. The baby's liver is getting ready to take over the task of removing excess bilirubin which so far the moms liver was doing. Feeding frequently means more urination and this will help wash the bilirubin out faster. Also exposing the baby's skin to morning sunlight for about fifteen to twenty minutes will also help in the elimination of bilirubin.
