How do you sun bask an infant without causing sunburns, mine has been burnt how can I soothe the face?

Newborns should never bask in the sun directly. You do not need to bask in the sun to get Vitamin D. Just being in a room or house with sun rays getting into the house is sufficient. Most newborn babies will get their Vitamin D from the breast milk of their mothers hence the need for breastfeeding mothers to be on Vitamin D supplements.
