My baby girl is mulatto. How dark she will become ?
Posted: 08-13-07 19:59pm

I have a question for anyone who knows? I'm a white women and I have a 5 month old baby girl that is mulatto. Her father is very dark, he is from Africa. My girl was very lite when she was born, but everyone tell's me that she is going to become very dark. So I was just wondering if that is true. My doctor said that she would get a little darker and she did, but I just wanted to know if what people are saying is true. To me it doesn't matter because she is so adorable but I was curious. And you know some people are so racist and mean.

There's really no way to know how dark she'll get. I think she's blessed with mixed skin; it's so beautiful!

Hi, it is really something that cannot be determined beforehand. I think you are just going to have to wait and see.
The darkness depends on the melatonin, and how much of it she has. Chances are, she will get a bit darker (how much?..I don't know) because of the melatonin in her body, and exposure to light.

They ARE so cute...
Susie.

Thank you so much for answering my question. I just found this site and it's great. Everyone tell me something else about the baby getting darker but I don't think so and I don't really care I will love her the same. She's the best thing that happened to me. Thanks again girls that was very nice of you.
