Exposure to sunlight should be for 15 minutes three times a day. But the key is in the first eight days of life of the child. It is advisable to carry a newborn in diapers to receive the sun throughout his body.
The right time to expose the baby to the sun is between 7:00 and 9:00 am and after 4:30 pm. This therapy is important because it prevents jaundice, a disease that occurs because the liver of most infants is immature and can not remove bilirubin in full, resulting in a yellowish hue in your skin and brings sleep.
Doctors advise mothers breast milk for their high nutritional value. It provides water to the child and contributes to its growth. This is food to be provided during the first six months of life. Then you can add complementary foods to the diet and fresh fruit jams. If the baby loses fluids can cause dehydration. Symptoms are infrequent and urine dark yellow, sunken eyes, saliva limited and few tears. In this case you should continue breast milk supply and giving sugar water or salt water (saline Pediatric).
