Is she too red?

Question

Baby girl is 1wk 2days and a red head (like me). Is she too red or is it just because she’s a red head (I get red easily- hot shower, too warm...)?  She’s been reddish since birth... maybe her body is still adjusting? I used some Cetaphil baby lotion today... sorry FTM 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

A babies skin is very thin and translucent. She will become less red as she gets older :)

Answer

This entire photo looks like it has a pink filter on it so there's no way for us to distinguish if the baby itself is too pink. But at 1 week, they're still very much adjusting to regulating their body temperature so it's normal for them to look red or even too pale. Same with their hands and feet. It's normal for them to be colder and slightly blue or purple. Of course, these colors can also be super concerning so definitely use your best judgment there.

She’s beautiful 😍😍 when my SO was a baby, his hair looked like this and it’s browned out a lot now that he’s 25 but I’m HOPING that if/when we have kids they’ll get his bright red bake and my bright blue eyes 😍 (but of course we’d love him/her regardless)

She is so beautiful! I just adore red hair and was so lucky to have my first born blessed with it.

Answer

Newborns look kind of reddish and flushed for awhile (mine did too, she also has fair skin), I wouldn’t worry. Great hair!!!!
