It is neither necessary nor recommended . However in Northen India , during sunny winter months , when sitting in the sunlight is very pleasant and enjoyable , you may take the baby also outside but even then not expose to direct sunlight
For Vitamin D requirements please administer vitamin D drops to the baby
