Newborns can have: a ruddy (reddish) color to their skin for a couple of weeks. Was she jaundiced at all in the first couple of days of life? Sometimes the 2 things can be related. If she is not jaundiced, is feeding well and urinating and stooling well, she is probably fine. You should touch base with her pediatrician if you are not sure or have further concerns.
