0-6 months: Infants under 6 months of age should be kept out of the sun. Their skin is too sensitive for sunscreen. An infant's skin possesses little melanin, the pigment that gives colour to skin, hair and eyes and provides some sun protection. Therefore, babies are especially susceptible to the sun's damaging effects.
So it isn't really safe but, only some people do it but, there isn't a clear reason why.
HERE IS ANOTHER ANSWER:
A common condition for newborns is jaundice (yellowing of the skin and sclera of the eyes). Jaundice occurs when the baby produces more bilirubin than the liver can process. Bilirubin is a by product of normal breakdown of red blood cells. The three most common reasons for excess bilirubin are excess production of bilirubin due to the baby's normally higher than adult turn over of red blood cells, immature liver that cannot keep up with normal bilirubin production, or reabsorption of bilirubin by the intestines. the most common treatment of jaundice is phototherapy, the exposure of the child to special lighting that helps alter the by product to make it easier for the child's liver to process it. Some pediatricians may suggest the exposure of the child to brief periods of natural daylight if bilirubin levels are below 15-25mg.
