The main point in relation to the care with the babies is summed up in finding in all necessities the BALANCE of all things!
But, and until we find this balance between what can and can not. Lets us seek help from trained professionals, and of course, we also use our common sense and motherly feeling, which already deduces what we need or do not do for the well-being of our little babies.
The sun is one of those balances that we need to find, because too much can seriously harm the baby, but also the lack of sun can cause illness and the reduction of vitamins in the body of any person, as well as babies.

In addition to the care, we also need to take advantage of the benefits that the sun can produce in the body of babies, especially with regard to vitamins C and D.
