Question
The newborn has been diagnosed with physiological jaundice, and the doctor recommends more sunlight exposure at home to promote its disappearance. When jaundice is high in newborns, where should they be exposed to sunlight? How should sunlight exposure be done correctly?
Answer
If the newborn’s jaundice index is particularly high, it is recommended to seek hospital treatment for blue light therapy. If choosing to expose the baby to sunlight, it is important to avoid direct sunlight to the eyes and opt for mild sunlight between 8-9 AM or 4-5 PM. Avoid strong sunlight and it is suggested to seek medical advice from a reputable hospital for more professional guidance.
