Afternoon sun for jaundice, what time is more suitable

Patient's question:

Baby was born not long ago, and there has been a phenomenon of jaundice. His grandmother said that the baby should be exposed to sunlight for treatment, but we don't know how long is appropriate. So, we want to ask how long is suitable for the baby to be exposed to sunlight for jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your baby's jaundice condition, this might be considered either physiological jaundice or pathological jaundice. If it is physiological jaundice, you can appropriately expose your baby to sunlight later and use some probiotics to regulate it. This is not a major issue, and as long as you continue to monitor some bilirubin levels, it will be fine. Generally, it only takes about half an hour a day. Wishing you good health.
