Still learning on newborn shoots

The last picture in the OP kills me. Like a kick in the stomach. On first glance it looks as if the child is deceased.

Why do you think that is? How do you feel about your mother? Hehe! Sorry, couldn't resist.... I'm guessing that's because of the white balance. The new edit, looks better, but still not right. Too yellow I'd say..

As cool as the picture is every other color is still warmer than the child's skin.

Thanks for the insight again, guys, much appreciated. This shoot was only 4 months or so ago but it feels like ages looking at the pics again. I'm still learning so much, I look back at the original images and know I wouln't make those choices again.

Here's another edit on the last shot with some WB adjustments, and image #4 from the OP with crop and colour edits.

This one has some green banding that comes up when I export from Lightroom (in the wood around the blanket on the left side). And both images have some pink banding in the shadows in the skin. How can this be fixed?
