Baby complexion changing day by day
Hi Doctor,
My daughter had born on Feb 7, 2018. She was in very good fair complexion for 4 days till we were in hospital. We had taken her to sunbath for 20 days as she has mild jaundice. Day by day her complexion had come down. I'm currently using organic til oil for massage r applying fresh aloe vera or egg white before bath and dermadew baby soap. Please suggest what can be done to get back her original complexion.

This is a common concern among the the babies who have undergone phototherapy . Do not worry the complexion usually improves within two months as and well the skin of baby thickens in the due time.
Next Steps
Kindly avoid til oil as it might lead to skin reactions. Coconut oil or olive oil is a better alternative.
Health Tips
I am not sure of your complexion or your husbands. If you both are dark complexioned then please have expectations accordingly . I wish the baby the best of health. Take care.
