POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Initially, all babies are fair and pink but gradually the genetic colour will come up. Phototherapy and early morning sun exposure help in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Phototherapy causes a change in skin colour, sometimes causing the bronze baby syndrome. reversal to original colour needs about 48 days .
