Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Before the birth the baby will be in the womb of the mother and it will not be exposed the environment and it totally depend on the mother for every thing.

After the baby is delivered it will be exposed to all sort of environment and the medicines, it will tends to tan later on it will acquire its original color.

The oil which is used to bay before bath has a very protective effect on the skin of the baby. It will regain his color as the age advances.
Thank you.
