Pediatrician 's  Response
thanks for you query.
First, its normal to child develop darker skin one from his birth. Some children with darker parents have fair children at birth but they soon develop darker skin tone as their parents. so no need to worry about this.
Second it is also normal for a child of this age to apply some force during defecation. If stool consistency is not too hard then no need to worry. white and green particles in stool is also normal.
