Your baby and sun

Some parents are afraid to expose their babies to the sun, but guess what?
Actually sun is very good for babies, so they can get enough vitamin D for bones and immunity. Just get the babies out in the sunshine for a few minutes each day, let's say about 5 mins or so each day. All of my family do this until the baby is about 1 year old.
Especially for dark skin babies, they may require a little more vitamin D, because their darker skin makes it harder to absorb the sun's rays.
