How should newborns with high jaundice be exposed to sunlight?

Patient's question:

The baby's skin turned yellow, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was physiological jaundice and that there was no serious problem. He advised me to go home and expose the baby to more sunlight, which would help it fade. So, where should a newborn with high jaundice be exposed to sunlight, and how should it be done?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if it's particularly high, I suggest going to the hospital for a blue light examination. If you want to sunbathe, you only need to avoid the eye area. Generally speaking, the sun between 8-9 a.m. or 4-5 p.m. is suitable, and it's recommended not to be too strong. If you want to sunbathe, you only need to avoid the eye area.
