When a baby grows up, in addition to supplementing calcium, it is also necessary to expose them to more sunlight, so that the baby can grow up quickly. However, some parents feel that their babies are too young to go out and want to expose them to the sun through glass at home. Is this possible?
If parents want their babies to absorb calcium better through sun exposure, it is recommended not to expose them to sunlight through glass. The substance in the sun that can promote calcium absorption is ultraviolet radiation, and glass installed in buildings has the function of preventing ultraviolet radiation from passing through. Therefore, if babies are exposed to sunlight through glass, the effect on calcium absorption is not good.
If parents only choose to expose their babies to the sun by indoor windows because they are worried that their babies may contract certain diseases when they go out, it is recommended to open the windows. After the window is opened, the sun can shine directly on the baby, promoting the conversion of certain components in the baby's body into vitamin D. Vitamin D enters the intestines and stimulates the baby's body to absorb calcium elements, which can promote bone growth.
However, as the baby's skin is relatively immature, it is recommended that parents do not let the baby stay in the sun for a long time. Even adults can get sunburned if they stay in the sun for a long time, so parents should not let their babies be exposed to sunlight for a long time. Generally, the time should be controlled within half an hour, and they should also apply some moisturizing cream to their babies to prevent their skin from losing moisture under sunlight.
