Is darkening of complexion is the symptom that baby is not getting nutrition ?

My 5 month doesn’t take breastfeed properly now. I tried giving her bottle but she refuses it too. I have started giving little bit of top feed. she has darkened considerably in last 2 months. Does it indicate lack of nutrition?

could be the color of the baby. if you are concerned, see the pediatrician.

    that depends. if she is black or partially black like my grandsons, then it is normal. Dark pigmented children darken over the first couple months.

    Nope as long as she’s having appropriate amount of wet and dirty diapers she’s fine. Lack of nutrition will not generally cause a change in skin tone. It will cause the skin to get dry and lose it’s baby skin texture. Also depending on nationality and genetics it may be that baby is just naturally going to have darker skin. My daughter is 3 months old and has significantly gotten darker in the past month. She’s half white quarter navajo quarter german.

    have you ever heard of a thing called a doctor ? how about a hospital ? do you care that your child might have something far worse than just looking sick ? if this is a serious question you are quite possibly the worst parent ever get off your rear and take that child to the hospital / doctor now what kind of person looks at their child and says hum I’ll see what unqualified people say in a discus ion group before going to a qualified health professional
