1. A phototherapy device, comprising:
a bassinet configured to hold a subject, the bassinet comprising a breathable material to allow airflow therethrough; and
an enclosure configured to be placed over the bassinet, the enclosure comprising planar walls forming a triangular shape, the planar walls comprising an angled front wall and opposing sidewalls comprising a first material capable of permitting the passage of visible light and at least partially filtering ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays, and a back wall comprising a second material different than the first material and capable of permitting the passage of visible light and at least partially filtering UV but not IR rays,
wherein the enclosure lacks domed surfaces, and wherein the configuration of the planar walls directs incident IR rays out of the enclosure such that there is no build-up of heat that would harm the subject resting therein, and
wherein the angled front wall is angled relative to the back wall to define an angle of about 45° therebetween.
