Hello,
Your baby is having yellow coloration of eyes and skin indicates jaundice. Jaundice is usually physiological in nature. It usually starts by 3 rd day and resolves by 2 weeks.
If it wont resolve or increase in severity treatment is required in the form of light therapy.
Viatamin A and Vitamin D are not required for treatment of jaundice, they are indicated in treatment for their deficient conditions respectively.

Please do consult your child doctor regarding this, he will be able to guide you.
Thank you
