Due Date Club March 2007:Baby´ s Skin Fairness Issue

2007-08-21

Name: srini vasagan Hi all, Our first baby girl was born on March7,2007. To everyone' S Surprise she was not as fair as I expected and as the days pass by her skin appears a lot darker.both me & my husband have lighter skin (though my husband has less lighter skin mine). None of my Inlaws are darker though. A few of my friends say that too much intake of Iron supplements during pregnancy may result on darkening baby' s skin. Not sure if this is a fact or myth.i had the Iron supplements throughout my third trimester only on the advice of my gynic.
I use G&G Baby Bath,Lotion & powder for my baby. Has anyone got any idea about what possibly could be done to improve my baby' s skin complexion. will she get any fairer in the future. Any advice/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. preeti replied. soak one almond everynight , next morning rub it on stone or silbatti with onboiled cow milk and apply the paste on baby bace and body, u' ll se the changes within one week. Emily replied. First:Stay away from the sun.And always apply Baby Sunscreen if your baby go to outdoor.
That' s the best way to keep your baby not to become more darker.
Then,after she turns ten-year-old, apply \" Neutrogena\" (cleanser,toner, essence,deep whitening mask).
Remind her to apply sunscreen(above SPF 30) half an hour before go out and re-apply sunscreen every three hours.
Carry UV Block umbrella when she goes outdoor.
I must suggest you that when you pregnant next time, please do drink at least 600c.c. soybean drink every day till your baby born.
You said you had Iron supplements during pregnancy. Why don' t you just take New Prenatal MVM tablets (Wyeth).
Just take one tablet per day and you will get all nutritions which pregnant women' daily needs.
That' s all my advice to you and By the way, I am Taiwanese girl and my husband is also Indian. We settle in Taipei City, Taiwan. Also our first baby boy was born on March 7,2007. So, both of our baby are almost six-month!
