The AAP recommends keeping babies out of the sun for the first 6 months anyway. Just getting some sun here and there won't guarantee that your little on is getting enough. That's because most of the vitamin D is produced between 10 and 3pm, pollution can decrease the amount of vitamin D that the body makes and babies with darker skin won't make as much vitamin D even when exposed to the sun. Always check with your pediatrician to be sure. I'll have plenty more posts/articles on this subject coming up!
