Time to see a doctor: This situation is one for psychologists and psychiatrists, because the shade of skin color of a newborn appears to be causing emotional distress in a parent. This is very important because the parent will unconsciously and consciously treat the baby differently because of the emotional distress inside the parent. "Hispanic" is based on surnames, and normally includes a full range of skin colors.
