Whose skin color will the child inherit?

We will find that when the father is Chinese and the mother is a foreigner, most of the genes will be passed on to the father, or a little bit will be passed on to the mother, making it unclear which side it will be passed on to. This still depends on the genes of the parents and the actual physical conditions of the parents. It does not mean that the baby will become dark if the father has dark skin.

Experts say that the depth of a baby's skin color is mainly related to genetic genes. If the parents have fair skin, the baby's skin will be fairer. Sometimes it may be inherited from the previous generation. Both parents have white skin, but the grandparents have dark skin, so the baby's skin may also be darker. At the same time, skin color is also related to the baby’s acquired living environment. For example, if the light exposure is strong, the skin will easily become darker.

The food that expectant mothers eat during pregnancy has not been proven to have a direct or negative impact on the skin color of the fetus. It is recommended that expectant mothers eat more of the above-mentioned white foods because they are rich in nutrients, which are beneficial to the health of expectant mothers and fetuses, rather than eating them to whiten their skin.

In addition, experts also said that pregnant mothers drinking Chinese medicine will not cause the fetus to turn black. Because Chinese medicine has three types: plant-based, mineral-based and animal-based, and the Chinese medicine prescribed by doctors to expectant mothers is basically plant-based and does not contain melanin. Therefore, the claim that melanin flows to the fetus through the blood is untenable. The color of the Chinese medicine soup itself will disappear through the digestion process.

Although the baby's skin color has little to do with what the expectant mother eats before delivery, expectant mothers don't necessarily have to just leave it to fate. You can consult your obstetrician and gynecologist in advance about what food is good to eat. Expectant mothers can discuss their diet with their doctors during each prenatal check-up.

In general, an expectant mother's daily diet should include fresh protein, fruits, vegetables, and fiber-rich, sugar-free cereals. The diet should be light and eat less salty, barbecued, spicy and strong-tasting foods to avoid irritating the fetus's respiratory system and skin.
