Just try to feed him as much as possible.  Even if it isnt extremely sunny still sit with him by a window.  My ds had it really bad and they put him under UV lights for a night when he was only 2 days old.  So just follow up with the Dr.  I think they said within 7 days the level will peak then go down from that point.

It is very common for newborns to be jaundiced, keep feeding him as much as possible, every couple of hours during the day every 3 at night, even if you have to wake him, set your alarm clock during the night.

i am pumping my milk while he is sleeping, and feeding it to him when he wake up.
my question is can i just leave the milk in the fridge in the bottle for couple hours?

Yes you can leave the milk in the fridge for supposedly 3 days.  I think there was just another post on here about pumping qustions.  It was really informative.  I will see if I can find it for you.
