Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Yellowish discoloration of teeth is possible if the baby is taking Iron drops for the correction of anemia.
Tetracycline preparations may impart yellowish discoloration.
Avoid these drugs if you are using.
Any way these are temporary teeth and will be replaced by permanent teeth later.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
