It is normal for skin darkening of a baby over couple of months after birth. If your baby is otherwise healthy. Don't worry about skin complexion. Though not associated with skin pigmentation, hopefully thyroid profile test of the baby was done after birth. As mother was consuming thyroid drugs, testing of baby should be done.
