Thanks for the query.
Sorry to tell you that you can do nothing for fair skin.
I can understand your concern.
Complexion of newborn is determined by gene from either parents and we can do nothing about it.
Also number of weeks , baby has taken to born have some effect on complexion.
Environmental factor and feeding will gradually settle your babies color.
As you said you both are fair i wish your child will be fair too so don't worry about it.
Hope i helped you.
I find this answer helpful
