After overcoming the challenges of childbirth, our precious baby has finally been born into this world.
After being soothed by their adorable sleeping faces, I took a walk outside the house and rested for a while.
Until recently, the sight of a mother and baby sunbathing in a nearby park on a sunny day was a common and everyday scene.
However, in recent years, this common belief has been changing.
The "Maternal and Child Health Handbook," issued when you submit a pregnancy notification to the local government office, contains a variety of information related to child-rearing.
Did you know that the description of the "necessity of sunbathing" was removed from the maternal and child health handbook in 1998?
This is because the health effects of excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays have become a greater concern than the benefits of sunbathing.
The current maternal and child health handbook now recommends "outdoor bathing," which involves acclimatizing babies to the outside air and temperature differences, rather than sunbathing.
According to one theory, under normal circumstances, a person receives about 50% of their lifetime's total UV exposure by the age of 18.
Furthermore, it is said that the more ultraviolet rays a child is exposed to, the greater the negative effects.
Taking proper precautions against UV rays from childhood is extremely important in preventing future UV-related problems.
A baby's skin is far more delicate than an adult's.
Furthermore, babies cannot protect themselves from the effects of ultraviolet rays. That's why parental care is essential.
Outside, there are many things to be concerned about, such as PM2.5 and pollen.
When going out with your baby during the day, don't forget to take precautions to protect your precious baby's skin, such as applying sunscreen and dressing them in a hat and long-sleeved shirt.
