Black babies are not always born white, although some are quite light. Even when they are born lighter, there are usually differences in the tone of their skin. Many lighter babies have visible changes of skin tone even within hours of being born. Just like white, Hispanic, Asian, and other babies, they have had no sun exposure, so their melanin has not surfaced. It could take several months to fully develop.

Black babies are not born white. Babies of all races are typically born with lighter skin that may change over time as they produce more melanin, the pigment that gives color to skin, hair, and eyes. In the case of black babies, their skin will darken as they are exposed to UV light and as their bodies produce more melanin.

99.99% African American babies are born with their natural curly/kinky hair. Their hair will probably only be straight depending on their genetics if they're interracial.

Do babies see in color or black and white?

When babies are just born, their vision is still developing (You don't need to see much when you're living in someone's belly). That means you can't see in color. So yes; babies see in black and white. But only when they're just born. They will be able to see all colors once they're 5 months old.


Can babies see in color?

It actually depends on the age of the baby. When babies are first born, they see in black and white and have blurry vision. But gradually, babies start to see in color when they grow to be a few months old.


Are black babies born with white skin?

Yes, most black babies are born with white skin. Some are born completely black however most of them lack the melanin pigment development initially. Within a few months, this pigment develops while they are exposed to the sun and such. They will gradually turn black until they reach their full pigment color. Black baby boys usually have the full black pigment around their testicles. Later, their whole body will turn into the same color.


Are black babies born with pink skin?

All human babies are born with lighter skin than they will have as adults, and even adults have a wide range of skin tones even within one race. Thus, some African American babies will have light, others dark, skin. There is no general rule. (And, in fact, white babies can actually have darker skin that black babies and vice versa.) As well, skin color can darken considerably in the months after birth. Some babies born of "African American" babies CAN LOOK "caucausian" at birth and throughout their lives. Why? Because somewhere in either the mother's or father's ancestry a white person had sex with a black person. This is how "passing for white" was possible in previous decades. Historically, "passing for White" had economic and societal advantages. Now, it doesn't matter except where racism still exists.
