Question
How should one expose a newborn to sunlight when they have jaundice to achieve relief?
Answer
When a newborn develops jaundice, appropriate sunlight exposure can help alleviate the symptoms. It is recommended to choose a warm, sunny spot near a suitable indoor large window. The indoor temperature should be maintained between 26 to 27 degrees Celsius, which is slightly warm for adults wearing clothes. This way, the baby, who is unclothed, will not feel cold. During sunlight exposure, the baby should be exposed to sunlight through glass windows to allow their skin to receive more sunlight, which is beneficial for alleviating jaundice.
