In newborns, skin color changes are often due to something happening inside the body. Some color changes are normal. Others are signs of problems. The changes described below can happen to any newborn. But skin color changes may be more obvious in babies born early, or prematurely, who have thinner skin than full-term babies.
Your baby may not have been delivered by stork, but some infants are left with "stork bites" on the backs of their necks. These pink or red patches are just one type of birthmark or variation in skin color that are common in babies.
