Thanks for your query
All babies when they are born are fair and pink because they have no environmental exposure before birh.FIrst few days after birth they develop some red rashes in response to heat and cold.Baby's skin is very soft and sensitve so it reacts to clothes and linen baby wears.Thus baby's clothes should be soft and according to weather,for example they should be made of soft cotton during summers and humid climates.The dark colour your baby has acquired is her skin's response to environmental exposures.No need to worry about it,it is transitory her final skin complexion will be according to her genetic factors like both of you.Also don't apply harsh soaps that are used for adults for her skin.And please don't shy away from moderate sun exposure due to darkening fear as sun exposure is good for her bones
Warm regards
