Use the HSL tab in either LR or ACR and adjust the reds, yellows and oranges so the luminance is much higher and it'll help a LOT with newborn skin tones.

You have messed with the actual color a bit and I'd prefer to have the original to work with because of it, but this is
reds +38, Oranges +17 and yellows +9 on the luminance, I had to reduce the exposure slightly, adjust the white balance to the green a little and add to the black level. Probably wouldn't have to do that if I had the original.
