how long are newborns RED for?

[vannah]

My dd is now 2 weeks old, and I honestly expected some of the red to simmer down from the day she was born looking very red...but it remains the same.
My firstborn was only redish for a day or 2.
She is especially red in the face, but her torso and limbs are also red, only her feet and hands are quite pale...

anyone?

she´s probably just got paler skin than your first. ds1 was red for ages. well, at least 2 weeks, probably 3 (memory hazy)

thanks senora, my mw that came over a week ago said that the redness just means she will be dark skinned...???

anyone else?

Did your babies skin colour come right eventually?
