What is the normal value of total bilirubin in a new born baby?
.5 - 1.5 mg/dl
What circumstance leads to higher than normal levels of bilirubin in newborn babies?
Before birth, an infant gets rid of bilirubin through the mother's blood and liver systems. After birth, the baby's liver has to take over processing bilirubin on its own.

Bilirubin is measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). An example of normal values for adults is: Total bilirubin: 0.3 to 1.9 mg/dL. Direct bilirubin: 0.0 to 0.3 mg/dL.
Is 19.34 of bilirubin level in newborns considered to be in a critical stage?
Depends on the age, and if the baby was born prematurely. In both cases it is above the normal range, however newborns bilirubin levels drop significantly after about 1-2 weeks out of the womb. This is not a critically high level of bilirubin however, there are other variables to consider here so I would recommend checking with a doctor.

Why would newborn babies be exposed to sunshine?
0-6 months: Infants under 6 months of age should be kept out of the sun. Their skin is too sensitive for sunscreen. An infant's skin possesses little melanin, the pigment that gives colour to skin, hair and eyes and provides some sun protection. Therefore, babies are especially susceptible to the sun's damaging effects.So it isn't really safe but, only some people do it but, there isn't a clear reason why.HERE IS ANOTHER ANSWER:A common condition for newborns is jaundice (yellowing of the skin and sclera of the eyes). Jaundice occurs when the baby produces more bilirubin than the liver can process. Bilirubin is a by product of normal breakdown of red blood cells. The three most common reasons for excess bilirubin are excess production of bilirubin due to the baby's normally higher than adult turn over of red blood cells, immature liver that cannot keep up with normal bilirubin production, or reabsorption of bilirubin by the intestines. the most common treatment of jaundice is phototherapy, the exposure of the child to special lighting that helps alter the by product to make it easier for the child's liver to process it. Some pediatricians may suggest the exposure of the child to brief periods of natural daylight if bilirubin levels are below 15-25mg.
What letters on a bolood tests represent bilirubin count?
