Question
When a newborn has high jaundice, doctors suggest exposing them to sunlight more often to help reduce it. How should one correctly perform sunbathing?
Answer
Exposing newborns to sunlight appropriately when jaundice is high can aid in its reduction. It is recommended to do so between 9 am and 10 am or 3 pm and 4 pm, when the sunlight is gentler. When exposing the newborn to sunlight, be sure to protect their eyes and perineum. Do not exceed two hours of sun exposure each time, and closely monitor the baby throughout the process to prevent colds or other adverse reactions. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
