How do babies bask in the sun in summer

Many people know that sunbathing can supplement calcium, which is helpful for both adults and children. But after all, the sun's ultraviolet rays are very high and the radiation is very strong, so you still need to be careful when sunbathing to prevent burns. Especially the baby's skin is relatively delicate, so when you take your baby out to bask in the sun, you should take more sun protection measures to prevent accidental sunburn. So when you sunbathe, be sure not to do it in the middle of the day.

The conditions required:

1. Before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m.

2. A place with shade

3. A stroller or parasol to cover your head

Detailed method:

1. The weather is hot in summer and the sunshine is very abundant. If the baby is exposed to direct sunlight, it is easy to hurt the baby's skin. Therefore, the best place for the baby to bask in the sun is under the shade of trees. After the leaves block part of the sunlight, the intensity of sunlight is just suitable for the baby.

2. Because the sunlight is too strong in summer, it is best to take your baby to the sun before 9 am. After 5 pm, the sunlight will be much weaker;

3. How long your baby should stay in the sun every day should be determined by the baby's age. Newborns can only get a few minutes of sun a day. It increases slowly; from 10 minutes to 20 minutes, and gradually extends to 2 hours. It is a gradual process.

4. In the shade outdoors, the sun refracts ultraviolet rays that can also be absorbed by children. Ultraviolet rays have a weak ability to penetrate glass, so they should not be separated by glass.

5. Avoid direct sunlight on the head. In the summer, the sun is too strong and children should not be exposed to the sun. They can use the scattered sunlight under the shade of trees; use a parasol to block the baby's head; or take a walk or play games to bask in the sun.

6. When sunbathing, if you experience reactions such as headache, dizziness, palpitations, skin flushing or burning pain, you should immediately go to a cool place to rest, and give your child cool drinks or light salt water to drink, or wipe the body with warm water.

But everything has its pros and cons. While sunbathing allows babies to obtain vitamin D, if the ultraviolet rays are too strong it can also cause damage to the skin. So try not to take your baby under the sun. If you go out, it is best to apply some sunscreen on your baby. The time for sunbathing should not be too long, about half an hour is enough. If it is too hot when basking in the sun, don't dress your baby in too many clothes to prevent heatstroke.
