A member asked:

Will two week old newborns stare at sun?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Never noticed..but..: In decades as a pediatrician I never noticed or had the idea come up. However, it is a good idea that young infants eyes are NEVER exposed to direct sunlight. They should be covered, get light indirectly or receive some passive sun before the sun is up or after it goes down.
