Hi. Before answering your query, I presume that your baby is otherwise doing well i.e. feeding well, gaining weight and is active. Newly born babies have thin skin, so they appear red. As baby grows, skin becomes thicker, so the complexion also changes, and they become darker. Generally speaking babies born to fair parents have fair skin. This is most important and it's determined by the genes the baby gets from parents.Also, other factors which modify skin color is surrounding weather, exposure to sunlight, diet, & pollution levels. EG Too much sun exposure can make people darker. This does not mean, you must prevent your baby from all exposure to sun as some sunlight exposure daily is necessary for good bone growth. Since many factors are there which determine skin color, It's difficult to predict what complexion the baby is going to get ultimately.Also, once your baby grows up, skin color may change depending on the factors I already mentioned.
