U. S. Senator from New York. .
Tomer Commissioner of Health,
heto York City.
Abundant sunlight u of tre
mendous importance in the
nevclopment of an infant.
Like a flower, the child thrives and
blos^pms in it* presence and
withers in its
absence.
bunii~ht ii
•b lolttcly
necessary for
the proper
growth of a
>aby. Though
food may be
plentiful, with
out sunlight the
body cannot
properly utilize
the food.
It is a well
Dr. Copeland known fact that
... . , . absence of sun
light or lU substitute, cod liver oil,
produces a condition in children
known as rickets. This disease is
characterized by poor development
of the bones of the body, by flabby
muscles of the body and marked un
der nourishment,
T®hr« before the actual value of
sunlight was understood. It was cub
tomary to feed cod liver oil to all
children. Today, with our knowl
edge of the ultra-violet ray and the
place of the vitamins, very little cod
tiv«r oU la ntc«gn&ry.
Sun Baths Indoors
11 ts Important to remember that
sunlight Is only beneficial when the
rays actually reach the skin. Win
dow glass and clothing keep out the
beneficial rays. When tanning of
?"•*riB occur8> one can be assured
that the beneficial raye of the sun
have reached the body.
Sun baths may be given to an ln
rant, u *" the third or fourth
week. The child should not be ex
posed too suddenly. - ,
The first treatment may be for
three minutes to the front of the
body and three minutes to the back.
The length of exposure may be grad
ually Increased until the baby has
a coat of Un. Then for a half hour
or more he may frolic in the sun
without any clothes.
I am often asked as to whether
or not the sunlight la Injurious to
the eyes. As long as the rays do
not strike the eyes directly there is
no Injury. When the child Is very
young, as in the first month of life
it la wall to keep the face turned
away from the sun while giving a
sun bath.
Also, please remamber that a sun
sath may be given Indoors. The child
la placed In a crib near the open
window. The crib Is so placed that
the sun rays fall upon the child.
