A member asked:
My newborns skin complextion doesnt resemble me or her dads she is dark we are light .. can this change?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin tone can change: Your newborns skin tone can subtly change over time. Give it time and you will likely see a difference in the next few months. That being said her skin color is ultimately affected by the gene she inherited from both you and dad and there is not much you can do about it.
