Hello.
If possible please share a picture of the child in comparison to the time when he was born.
In usual cases it’s not a matter of concern as the texture of skin is subject to change, but still it will be easier to comment if you could do the needful.

Not to worry :)

Hello mommy! Newborns will usually look fair and pinkish.. As they grow and mature, skin color becomes darker. By 3 months, you must be able to identify his actual complexion. This is normal. Nothing to worry!

It's normal for babies to get darker as they grow older. Their natural color will pick up around 5-6 months of age.
