I see no reason why we r all trying to brighten up our babies skin. If ur baby is fair d colour will definitely remain fair n if dark there is nothing u can do about it unless u want to torn d skin. Shear butter is good for all types of skin from infant till d baby is over a year cos is true it darken skin. I used just shear butter for my boy till he is a year n 8months n now he isn't using anything at times anointing oil or Vaseline just on his face n he is shinning.
