How do newborns bask in the sun correctly?

When the baby is young, the body needs to supplement enough calcium, so the baby needs to get more sunshine. Infrared rays in the sun can help your baby get the vitamin D he needs, because when vitamin D is involved in the blood, it can better help your baby absorb calcium and phosphorus in food. Absorbing enough calcium and phosphorus can promote your baby's healthy growth and prevent rickets in children, so be sure to let your baby get more sunshine.

However, when the baby is just born, if it is not properly taken care of, it is more likely to cause harm to it, because many details should be paid more attention to.

At the beginning, the baby basks in the sun, so you can't just let the baby bask in the sun. You can only open the window at home and let the sun shine in.

Let the baby touch it at first, from the baby's toes to the knees, to touch the oblique sunshine. And pay attention to the control every time, not too long, about five? 10 minutes is enough. At the beginning, let the baby be exposed to the sun for 2 to 3 days. Then, we can gradually expand the baby's sun exposure, from the knees to the thigh roots, and finally to the baby's back. The whole process is gradual, about 30 minutes. Then, dry your navel for 2 to 3 days. At this time, it is necessary to take off the diaper, which is about 15 to 20 minutes.

In addition, the baby's time in the sun also needs special attention. Generally speaking, choose between 6: 00 am and 10, or between 4: 00 pm and 5: 00 pm. At this time, the sun is not so fierce, the ultraviolet rays inside are weak, and the infrared rays are slightly stronger, which will help the baby's metabolism and reduce the harm to the baby. And it should be noted that before noon to 4 pm, you must never let your baby bask in the sun to prevent the sun from sunburning your baby's skin. In the process of baby's exposure to the sun, we must be careful not to expose the baby's eyes to the sun to prevent strong light from hurting the baby's eyes; Attention should also be paid to the usual lighting to avoid the damage of strong light to the baby's eyes. It is best to cover the baby's head and eyes with a hat or headscarf.

As the baby grows older, it is necessary to go outdoors slowly and let the baby get more sunshine. Generally speaking, the baby can only be held outdoors for about 4 weeks, and the time cannot be long. At first, you can only sunbathe from your feet and legs in a small area, and gradually increase the time and body range of sunbathing. It should be noted that at this time, the baby's head and face should not be in direct contact with the sun. It's best to keep them in the shade or cover them with a hat or something.

In some cases, Bao's father is worried that the baby will be hurt by the sun and will expose the baby to the sun through the glass. However, scientific research shows that this kind of contact with the sun is very poor. Through the glass, the ultraviolet penetration rate will not exceed 50%, about 4 meters away from the window, and the indoor ultraviolet is less than 2%. Therefore, it is basically useless to contact the sun in this way. In the end, the baby should be exposed to the sunlight obliquely incident on the room.

In addition, when the baby is in the sun, he can't be on an empty stomach. He can't take a bath immediately after exposure. Exposed to the sun, the baby's body temperature will rise and he may sweat. After the baby finishes the sun, it is necessary to replenish water to the baby in time. Usually, when taking care of the baby, we should also take careful care according to the climate, environment, baby's particularity and other factors.
