I have been investigating this but several sources expose different dates ranging from 6 months old to 3 years old.

Wanted to check with you all for a recommendation.

    Need some elaboration here. You’re talking about long term exposure, or general exposure.

    General exposure I’d say immediately, it’s natural to be exposed to the sun. If that wasn’t the case I didn’t think we would have survived as humans.

    Long term it takes a while because they can’t regulate their temperature very well and will burn.

      As context, my daughter is 2 months old and I wanted to expose her to direct sunlight instead of indirect sunlight. Now, to answer your question, yes, I was talking about both but in terms of direct exposure to the sun instead of being exposed to the light though a window.

        The fact that I don’t feel 100% confident that this is a shitpost is making me realize I’m not even close to being ready for parenthood.

        She’s fine with direct sunlight, obviously keep the sun from beaming her in the face. Babies aren’t smart enough not to stare into the sun.

        Long exposure you need to wait. They don’t regulate temperature well. That’s why they get bundled in the winter and a lot of times naked, just diapers, in the summer depending on temperature of your house. Also fresh skin will burn easy.

        Don’t feel bad asking questions we all learned from somewhere. Most, like myself, learn when you have a kid. It’s better to ask questions. Asking questions shows you care and you want to do what’s right.
