Hello, I gave birth at 35 weeks 2 days, and my son is now one week and 2 days old. I noticed when. He was born he was very pale, and had jaundice. Now his biliruben went down and no longer needs the blue lights, but his skin color got a lot tanner.... is it possible for a preemies skin color to change so rapidly?
I understand your concern. As you have not mentioned his birth weight or level of bilirubin at starting of photo therapy I am a bit handicapped in giving advice. However, the skin color gets tanned / brownish with phototherapy and will take few weeks to come to normal color. Here you may realize that the color you saw at birth was tender skin covered with soft Vernon and may not be babies true color. Regards.
