A. yes, but the complexion will regain. Just breast feed your baby two to three hourly and on demand. Do Consult your paedritician for further management and treatment. take care.

A. hi dear This difference in skin colour is due to melanin (the pigment in human skin). Dark-skinned babies have more melanin in their skin than light-skinned babies. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes and apart from skin, also gives our hair and eyes their colour.
