How to get a nature baby skin?

I use a Panasonic GX7 to take video of my baby.
Everything is looked naturelly except the skin of the baby, it's dark and yellow, makes the baby looks like 10 years older :-(
But the picture taken by DC is without problem, the skin of the baby is white mixed red.

So my question is How to make the skin of the baby looks naturelly, is it possible to get the same looking as the picture by DC?

Thanks!

Have you tried breastfeeding it?
No really, your must check your white balance setting. Your camera seems to think white is something it ain't.

TorS is right. Learn to manually white balance your camera and you'll get better, more predictable results. Once you learn to WB, you can then do some very subtle tricks. If, for example, you WB against a very light blue (pastel) card, you will get warmer skin tones.

And to fix those pictures you've already took, that are too yellow assuming you have version 4 of Vegas, use the color corrector. Amazing how much you can correnct with just that one filter.
