Your baby should adjust to breastfeeding immediately.

Any yellowness present on your baby’s face, body, limbs, or eye whites will go away on its own.
A yellow tinge to the baby’s skin or eye whites may indicate that the baby has jaundice. A physician should inspect all babies who appear yellow, as soon as symptoms arise. Jaundice is easily treated by physicians, however it can become life threatening if ignored.
Newborn babies should spend most of their time sleeping.
A newborn baby should spend the majority of the day sleeping, waking every four hours or so to eat. If the baby is not waking on his own, or seems uninterested in eating regularly, it may be a sign of illness, and the baby should be inspected by the doctor.
