The goal of this observational study is to compare the effectiveness and efficiency for precaution of severe hyperbilirubinemia in neonate by different follow-up methods of neonatal jaundice. There are two kinds of follow-up methods in the investigators clinical practice. The one is internet plus follow-up model, the other is conventional clinic follow-up method. Parents of the participant neonates can choose one by themselves. After parents of the participant signed informed consent, the investigators recorded several information including severe hyperbilirubinemia, length of phototherapy, follow-up times, et al. Then the investigators analysed these data in order to know what kind of follow-up method is better to prevent severe hyperbilirubinemia and more easy to be accepted.
