A. Hello good morning !! Yes in the initial weeks baby reduce colour and also photo therapy also cause colour change due to rays. No need to worry babies get back their colour around 4-5 months. Do regular massage with milk cream /mix milk cream with rice flour or green gram flour and massage for 10 minutes before bathing amd and use mild soap with less pH value. Milk cream helps as natural moisturizer gives smooth and glowing skin and improves skin complexion.
