Yes, its true.
My daughter used to have mild jaundice when she was 8 weeks old and failed a relevant test which has done on her (can't remember what test is that). So a nurse asked and taught me how to carry her under sun taning for few minutes everyday. After one week she went back to do the test again. Passed! -
True. But please male sure you protect babies eyes well and don’t go out during noon, etc. Choose 8am kind of sun.

Yes, its true.
just carry the baby in your arms, expose baby to 8 am morning sun, it helps -
Yeah it is true.

Exposing your baby to sunlight through a window might help lower the bilirubin level, but this will only work if the baby is undressed. Make sure the temperature in your home is comfortable and not too cold for your baby. Newborns should never be put in direct sunlight outside because they might get sunburned.

The home doctor, when she came, said to undress the child in the sun - we kept all day under the window and on the balcony, were born in September - if the summer was and we would be naked on the street. And even more on the air, on the street
