1. Timing: The best time for sunlight exposure is early morning, usually before 9 a.m., when the sun's rays are gentler. Avoid midday or afternoon sun, as it can be too harsh for a baby’s sensitive skin.
2. Duration: Limit the exposure to about 10–15 minutes. Babies have delicate skin, and prolonged exposure can lead to sunburn.
3. Clothing: Dress your baby in light, breathable clothing that covers most of the skin, or use a thin blanket if necessary. Ensure that the head is covered with a hat to protect against direct sunlight.
4. Hydration: Ensure that your baby is well-hydrated (with breast milk or formula) after sun exposure, as even mild exposure can be dehydrating.
Direct sunlight exposure in the morning can help with vitamin D synthesis, which is important for bone development, but it’s essential to keep it short and gentle for your baby’s comfort and safety.
