A. it is good to keep the baby in sunlight for good vit D. make sure you don't keep the baby under direct sunlight. i personally suggest keeping the baby near the window wheresunrays are entering via window it is more than sufficient. as direct sunlight can harm the newborn baby's skin and there is no scientific proof that it reduces jaundice.
