Is it good to put the newborn in the sun to cure jaundice?

By Silvia Azaña Gutiérrez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

No, exposing the newborn baby to the sun to try to reduce jaundice and make it disappear as soon as possible should not be done, as it is not safe.

Always follow the recommendations of the specialist and go to the established controls to avoid possible serious complications of neonatal jaundice.
