Question
Can newborns with jaundice be exposed to sunlight in summer?
Answer
If the baby needs sunlight, it’s best not to start too early, ideally after 8 a.m., but also not too late. Too late in the day means the ultraviolet light is too strong, which is bad for the baby’s skin. The duration should not exceed half an hour. It’s also important not to expose them to sunlight through glass; windows must be open. Additionally, letting them drink rock sugar water every day can be beneficial for jaundice treatment.
