Surabaya (beritajatim.com) – Sunbathing babies with mothers is an activity that is often recommended by doctors because sun exposure has good health benefits.
Sunlight helps the processing of vitamin D in the body. Not only for skin health, but also for calcium absorption, increasing body resistance, and helping the formation of bones and teeth.
However, keep in mind that drying babies must be done correctly to avoid dangerous risks. Some of the right ways according to doctors in drying babies, include:
1. Do not dry the baby naked
Babies’ skin is very sensitive and thin, so exposing a baby naked to the sun can cause irritation or even burns to their skin. It is better if the baby is given light and loose clothing when drying.
2. Don’t take too long
Sunbathing the baby for 10-15 minutes is enough to get the benefits of sunlight. Too long in the sun can increase the risk of sunburn and dehydration.

3. Do it before 10 am
Sunbathing the baby should be done before 10 am or before the sun is too hot. Excessive ultraviolet exposure above ten o’clock or under four in the afternoon is not good for the baby’s health.
4. Wear head protection and goggles
Babies also need to be protected from the glare of the sun. The use of hats and sunglasses for babies can help protect their eyes and skin.
5. Use sunscreen if older than 6 months
The use of sunscreen can be an option to protect baby’s skin from the risk of irritation and skin cancer. However, sunscreen should only be used after the baby reaches the age of more than six months.
By following these steps, parents can safely expose their babies to the health benefits of sunlight.
It is important to always pay attention to the health and comfort of the baby when drying. In addition, parents can also consult a doctor if they have questions or concerns regarding this activity. (fyi/nap)
