What??? She gets naked time in the bath. I've heard of other people doing that if the kid gets bad diaper rash. Otherwise, naked time is going to have to wait for potty training.
It sounds like they are confusing a naked bum with skin to skin contact - which is very important early on for a newborn and can be accomplished in a diaper.
I have let him hang out naked before when he's had a bad diaper rash. He seems to love it. I lay out a towel for him to play on, and he sprawls out on his stomach with a huge grin. Although it did backfire pretty badly on me one day.
