I can understand your concern.
Complexion of newborn is determined by gene from either parents and we can do nothing about it.

Environmental factor and feeding will gradually settle your babies color.

Thats what I was trying to understand that it is possible that they regain their complexion in an years time
Brief Answer:
yes it is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up query.
It is full term delivery (39 weeks).
As i told you earlier, after about a year's time original color will come back depending on race and genes.
So no need to worry about changes in complexion till that time.
Also i would like to tell you don't go for ubtan, milk message, powder as nothing will work.
Hope i answered you query.
