I have a 7 month old daughter who was 8 weeks early. Iam am a little concerned about her complexion. She is of very fair cmplexion in which neither I or dad is. I looked through both of our great grandsand I can't find where she gets it from. I just want to know that it's okay and that there is no possibility of any problem because of her prematurity.
