We as indians are brown race and that is natural to us. Using a good sunscreen suitable for kids will help. Otherwise joy should not be linked to colour but with cerebral capabilities and heath.

Hello 👋
Both kids are healthy, happy and cute
Think practically n scientifically
1) After birth all newborn babies look fair, reddish, chubby cheeks and doll like
2) 2- 6 months - skin tone often changes like fairer or darker due to variation in melanin production which stabilizes later
3) 6-12 months - melanin production stabilizes
4) 1-3 years - skin tone become permanently depending on genetics
After 3 years nothing can be changed
Only thing you should concentrate on baby skin - healthy, moisturized and protected
Baby skin tone changes if it is due chronic sun exposure and nutritional deficiencies
So depending on site and severity treatment can be started accordingly
Next Steps
do consult online Dermatologist for better cosmetic results
